Chilean Consulate 390 St Kilda Road Melbourne, Australia

The struggle for Indigenous autonomy against the ravages of colonialism continues today. In Chile, it takes the form of the persecution of the Indigenous Mapuche people by the Chilean state. The state has employed anti-terrorist legislation to invade Indigenous communities, expropriate their land, and imprison their leaders. Today, there are 32 Mapuche political prisoners in Chilean jails, and additional two minors. They have been on a liquid hunger strike in protest against their treatment and the persecution of their people since 12 July.
