MEWLEN HUENCHO, WERKÉN (SPOKESPERSON) OF THE MAPUCHE TERRITORIAL ALLIANCE, STARTS HUNGER STRIKE ON THIS 30TH DAY PEACEFUL OCCUPATION OF UNICEF IN SANTIAGO, CHILE. (Action does not involve the pichidomo (girl) Kimun)
SPREAD URGENTLY!!
Public statement to the national and international community, to our
brothers and sisters, to all solidary people, men and women, who
populate the world, we communicate the following:
Today, at 30 days of the occupation of UNICEF, a month where have seen how the United Nations system has not responded with the appropriate urgency to address the issues that they, in their mandate, propose to defend. We want to make known the indolence of this organization towards the urgencies and needs of the Mapuche people. We have been inflexible with our demands to the UN system, being aware that the state wages an unequal war at us, since they use their weapons against our children and elderly women.
We demand of the United Nations to fulfill their role to promote, protect and defend the rights of our people.
We started the occupation with revealing the intense violence in which our children live, with the passage of time we have seen how the State has given a categorical answer, unlike the United Nations, more violence, more persecution, more repression, more judicialization, more criminalization.
Today our brother Mijaél Carbone Queipul, is persecuted, they are seeking to impose a strategy of intimidation and persecution. Our people receive this signal as a clear statement of their clear intention to eliminate us.
We call on all brothers and sisters to put pressure on the organizations of the United Nations operating in their countries, by sending letters of condemnation, by acts of protest and by lobbying, the only way is to globalize the solidarity, to mainstream the protest.
Today more than ever we need everyone, we call the sister nations to show solidarity with our demands, to the organizations and associations to become part of this process, where are at risk our lives and our existence as a people.

We start therefore with the
only action left to us as a weapon, our voice and our body, our voice
has not been listened to, our words have been ignored, our ideas have
been trampled underfoot, we have decided to deepen our protest, the
situation is untenable, the violence and persecution are intolerable.
We decided to resist, we decided to maintain the occupation and from today August 24 at 8:00 AM, Mewlen Huencho, has decided to hold a hunger strike until the international community reacts.
