In recent years we have seen has been sharpening a policy of repression of social struggles, through persecution, imprisonment, prosecution and criminalization of many people and organizations that speak out against the injustices of this system, all of which motivates us to raise our political position towards the subject, especially against the current stage of struggle for social and political prisoners.

Therefore, we as Communist Federation Libertarian declare:
1. We understand that the present policy of repression, a range of sectors who protest against injustice, are part of the historic role that has kept the Chilean State, guaranteeing an order of things in favor of the ruling class, encouraging the investment of the major economic players and wiping out all opposition to its expansion plans and increase profits at the expense of the dominated sectors.
2. The current legal system the Constitution framed in 1980, is a prime instrument of repression of and fighting. In this sense, the "anti-terror law" has become one of the main weapon of the Chilean State to criminalize social protest and submit.
3. We note that in recent years is still a repressive policy of the Chilean state and the dominant sectors, particularly aggressive, which means:
a) The follow-up activities, and therefore harassment of various social and political expressions opposition to this system of injustice.
b) The prosecution for people and organizations more visible and symbolically most disturbing for the "order": Mapuche, anarchists and anti-authoritarians.
c) harassment, persecution and imprisonment of former political prisoners militant revolutionary political organizations (FPMR, Lautaro, MIR), which shows a clear intention to revenge the Chilean State.
d) The defamation by the authorities and the press, the various claims, demands and proposals for social change.
This state policy is well articulated by the Ministry of Interior, in cooperation with other state and nonstate actors, and represents a real danger for all those seriously considering the organization and the struggle for social transformation most desirable.
4. Following the policy of state, we see that the Prosecutor and the Ministry Public prosecutions mounted completely irrational, the limit of its own laws, you end up with extremely harsh penalties, in order to deliver a sobering message to the people, "dissent is punished to the fullest extent of the law."
One example was what happened in the case of member of the PC, the Continental Bolivarian Movement and the Solidarity Movement for Peace in Colombia, Manuel Olate, which he has tried to link with the FARC-EP. A Olate is charged as a liaison between the insurgency and radical factions of the Mapuche movement, which so far has not been tested for lack of evidence.
This type of persecution policy is particularly clear in the judicial process mounted against Mapuche organizations and communities. On numerous occasions they have used and paid faceless witnesses with obvious procedural errors, even with different practices to those accused of torture to extort confessions or evidence alleged. All this points to the maximum harsher sentences, which has an obvious political content of the claims against the Mapuche people. Faced with this situation, the Mapuche political prisoners held in Cañete (Llaitul Hector Ramon Llanquileo, Jonathan and Joseph Huillical Huenuche), are conducting a hunger strike since 15 March. Also
has continued this behavior, so-called "case pumps, in which even the prosecution was allowed to extend the investigation period by more than 7 months without evidence against the accused, keeping them in prison all this time and in worst possible conditions. As a peer pressure and maintain the hunger strike which runs from Feb. 21, which has been accompanied by various demonstrations of support in different places, inside and outside the country. Only on April 4, the prosecution presented to the Eighth South Court libel accusatory Guarantee, where required and penalties for defendants ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment.
The size of the assembly has reached the point that "suspiciously" a bomb exploded inside the offices of the People's Defender (group of defense lawyers), just 4 days of a critical audience, an opportunity that fell like a glove the prosecution, who had direct access to the folders on the defense. As if that were not enough, the authorities have decided to award the Attorney Alejandro Peña, integrating in the Secretary of the Interior, where part of a team advising the government on security. This is a clear sign of the line that will boost the state repression towards social movement.
5. We call on all social and political organizations, unions, student organizations and people, to speak for and speak out against the repressive policy of the state, actively participating in various demonstrations called for the release of any and all political prisoners , by the end of the anti-terrorism law and the judicial and political assemblies. At the same time propose the articulation of the various organizations and sectors concerned, to joint force against political imprisonment and criminalization of social protest. Just building a strong and organized people may provide the possibility to stop the repressive offensive State Capital and pave the way towards socialism and freedom.
release immediately all political prisoners and all! None
without Solidarity Struggle! Up the
and Struggling!
