We invite all you to join us in support and solidarity to the indigenous Mapuches of Chile and Rally beside them for their freedom and justice movement.
The Mapuches are holding a national rally in Chile on the 12/10/2009.
During the past eight years the level of violence and repression from the Chilean Government towards the Mapuches movement has risen.
The Mapuche Nation have bravely resisted continuous attempts by first the Spanish Colonisers and later the Chilean and Argentinean States to claim their territory and the resources therein aiming to neutralise Mapuche culture and identity by applying a strategy of assimilation.
The subsequent effects upon the Mapuche, human and territorial rights, culture and identity are catastrophic. It appears that the Chilean State will stop at nothing in the pursuit of attaining and securing such resources including the murder and violation of Mapuche people their human rights and fundamental freedoms.
