December 1, 2012 Report on Leonardo Quijón, Mapuche political prisoner on hunger strike

Leonardo Quijón Pereira, Community Chequenco

WEIGHT                 28/11/2012:             53.100 Kg
WEIGHT                   1/12/2012:             51.700 Kg

Headaches, fever, leg pain, laryngitis, he remains steadfast in his decision until the last consequences.

Despite Leonardo's innocence he is again deprived of his liberty, as well as Luis Marileo and Gabriel Valenzuela, for the case of the death of the parcel holder in Ercilla, only based on misleading statements of the Gallardo family??? Not only is the Anti-Terrorism Act used against the youths, but the anti-Mapuche Prosecutor Chamorro manipulates facts, creates setups, harasses and pursues politically, especially the young people, trying to put out the fight for their principles. A Prosecutor sick with racism who will not achieve even with bullets to overcome the force and conviction of the young Mapuche who fight for the ancestral rights of their people and against injustice.

CALL TO THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY to pressure the Chilean state and demand freedom for Leonardo Quijón! It is unfair to have them deprive people of their liberty without a trial, it violates international treaties ratified by Chile. The three young men accused of being a participant in these acts presented themselves voluntarily to prove their innocence, nevertheless they incarcerated them, separating them from their families and all dignified life.

IMMIDIATE FREEDOM FOR LEONARDO QUIJÓN, LUIS MARILEO AND GABRIEL VALENZUELA!

FREEDOM TO ALL MAPUCHE POLITICAL PRISONERS!

STOP THE POLITICAL PERSECUTION AND SETUPS AGAINST THE MAPUCHE PEOPLE!

NO TO THE ANTI-TERRORISM ACT!
