Yesterday the afternoon, José Mariano Llanca Tori was transferred from the jail of Angol, to the Hospital of the Town, the result of a INTESTINAL BLEEDING caused by the BREACH OF A VEIN IN THE ESOPHAGUS, he consequently suffered fainting spells, vomiting and loss of consciousness. We reiterate that these symptoms have occurred repeatedly in recent months, endangering his life.
We publicly denounce that José Mariano Llanca Tori was the victim of violations of his Basic Rights as a Prisoner, and he was not provided First Aid in the units of the prison and was transported by a prison van of the Gendarmerie to the Hospital in Angol, in dreadful conditions, being long minutes in the hands of personnel that does not have the required medical knowledge for so serious a situation.
We reiterate that José Mariano Llanca Tori, has been applying from the month of August the Prison Benefits to qualify for better health care, according to his needs and which will allow him to regain his health, not just to maintain it in the current state. Considering also the alternative treatment of his own culture, with the help of the Machi. For this reason we make it clear that it is in the hands of the Gendarmerie to provide the facilities to José Llanca to begin shortly with a dignified treatment.
We thank all those who are aware of this struggle and will continue to denounce the injustices and continue to accompany José and his family at this difficult time.
