Represive strike in Chile: 17 house raided and 14 companions kidnnaped
by the power
Agents of the BIPE (Police of Investigation) and the ERTA (equivalent
to the SWAT) on the other side agents of the GOPE (Especial forces of
the Normal Police), LABOCAR (CSI) and the deparment of inteligence of
the police and a series of helicopters and police cars whas the armory
who used the police for the 17 raids, in Santiago and Valparaiso,
during the dawn on the Saturday 14 of August. Between the 17 houses 3
are Squats and Socials Center being the squats La Crota Bike Punk and
the Squat Social Center and Library Sacco and Vanzetti in Santiago
downtown and the Autonomous Social Center Jhonny Cariqueo in the
Pudahuel municipality. Two houses were raided in Valparaiso.
The excuse for this police operation falls in the ?Bomb Case?, and 23
of the attacks with explosive registred in Santiago, according with
the police version would have direct links with those arrested.
The first raid was in the squat La Crota Bike Punk by the GOPE where
the result was 6 companions arrested. Of the six detainees were
kidnapped three, a female comrade with arrest warrant and for the
other two the police inveted traces of TNT in his hands.
Then was the turn of the SSC and Library Sacco and Vanzetti, by the
ERTA and the BIPE where they take out the metalic grid of the window
with a police car. The agents also realized shootings whit rubber
bullets, hiting the body of two companions. From this space were
arrested 5 companions and one remain kidnnaped.
At the same time was raided the ASC and Libertary Library Jhonny
Cariqueo in the Pudahuel municipality, in this space the police
breaking in smashing access doors and no one was arrested.
Also the police raided 14 particular houses, 12 in Santiago and 2 in
Valparaiso.
With a total of 17 raids realized by the defenders of the order and 14
companions kidnapped.
Formalization of the hostages.
This Saturday around 16:00 pm the companions where brought before the
11º Santiago Court Guarantee where the southern prosecution recuest
extend the detention until next Tuesday, 17 August, where they would
be concluded by "installation of explosive or incendiary devices and
terrorist conspiracy" (law made by Pinochet), question which the
Ministry of Interior would also make part risking 20 years. During the
hearing, demonstrated once again the circus nature of the Chilean
courts. Judge Lidia Bruna agreed to each and every one of the requests
of the Prosecutor and the Ministry of Interior (press presence,
extending the period of detention for three days, insolition of the
companions amog themselves and the outside, and also the order to
bring the police collaborator Gustavo Fuentes "El Grillo" to the
audience next tuesday, to formalize with the rest of the alleged
members of this "terrorist conspiracy." The vultures of the bourgeois
press were all in the courtroom and fired their flashes once the judge
gave the signal for the guards to enter the companions.
The arguments of the defensory were heard and denied one after
another. The judge had everything ready for each resolution
automatically read it with her voice of old bitch of a paper above his
deck. When they ask to a companion if they had reclaims to do in
relation to detention, he said he had been repeatedly threatened with
death, and she responds ?that?s all??. Neither seemed to attract much
attention the story about the destruction of particular houses of the
companions. The Prosecution justify the injuries cause by the police
to a companion of the Sacco and Vanzetti (a rubber bullet in his head
and a kick on the nouse) in the fact it would have looked out a window
of the building throwing things and destroying evidence, thing that
the companion denied this version inmeditly calling of ?Imaginative?,
was reprimanded for showing disrespect to prosecutors. So beating and
threatening people with death and rupture unnecessarily houses is part
of normal that judges uphold, but any questioning of the repressive
apparatus can not take place in this circus. This lady continued with
the same attitude when defense counsel had talked about an
"orchestration" between the different media to blame ours comrades.
When it became clear that the show was already ceasing to continue on
Tuesday at 9:00pm, began to feel the cheering of support, very
welcomed by the spirits of our companions. Canvases spread outside the
courtroom, were sung songs of support ("Free the prisoners to fight"),
the expression of the old fascist lady was of disgust and horror, some
bodyguards immediately surround the prosecutor Alejandro Peña. After
wrangling between those who went to support our comrades with two
types of police dogs (police and press), the fascist judge made
another signal that the 14 comrades were taked inside and then, from
the cells area, came a contingent furious policemen armed with sticks
and shields, which flew over the banks of defendants and lawyers with
the clear intention of beating up friends and relatives of the
detainees. Of course, the bourgeois press has noted that all the
comrades who came to support, as bad as the accused, attacked the
press and other guardians of the capitalist order, but the truth is
that the aggression came from the guards, while police and journalists
beat many people savagely, and outside the enclosure were joined by
riot police launching a manhunt that was not intended to arrest any
one but to punish directly. The companion Luisa Vergara was closed
with a traumatic brain injury, the mother of one of the detainees had
minor injuries caused by a fucking journalist, and luckily most of the
windows of this shit temple (courts) were destroyed to be used against
the officers. Also, several journalists were beaten and their cameras
damaged. No companion was arrested but many were beaten by the agents.
Once outside of the courts the companions found out that the SSC and
Library Sacco and Vanzetti was being closed for a joint operation by
the two police deparments. During the afternoon, the building had been
guarded by a truck from the PDI (Police Of Investigation), whose
occupants at first denied the entry of a group of companion, but later
agreed to let in and take some things, warning that there was an order
not to leave the building were reoccupied. Hours later, at about
18:30, police had entered the squat and were carrying out work to
close all access. The Library and all the other things that were not
seized (this time took little in the raid) remained sequestered there.
The police did not exhibit any eviction order or anything, and said it
was orders of the prosecutor. They also said the squat would be
recovered by their legitimate owners, the ISP (Internal Revenue
Service). A quick operation that took them by surprise yielded a
number of books that were put to safe, sparking a short police chase
in the area without any one arrested.
