Currently there are 35 pu peñi ka pu lamngen Mapuche political prisoners imprisoned by the Chilean state and capitalist interests.
Wednesday August 3, 2016, by Communications Commission/ http://meli.mapuches.org/spip.php?article3390
Mapuche political prison is now a reality in Chile. Even if the state denies it, there are still cases of Mapuche imprisoned as a result of the political persecution that has been unleashed with force in the Mapuche communities. The political response of the state -through the police repression-, a national matter of both historical and political borders, has not only increased the strength of a flame that has never gone out, as the Mapuche newen and our dignity never have been undermined in the long history of our people; even less when it comes to regaining our Wallmapu.
We see how today they are developing lawsuits against our pu peñi ka pu lamngen, carried out by corrupt and racist prosecutors, protected by the wingka institutional framework that gives them the power to prosecute all those Mapuche who today fight for their territory and dignity. Many of our brothers have already been convicted unjustly; many others are now awaiting trial, while they are deprived of their liberty in the various prisons of this country; others are living trough trials these days in which the state and its prosecutors and courts intend to condemn them; and many others, have worthily assumed to go underground. It is in this context that to date there are 35 pu peñi ka pu lamngen Mapuche political prisoners, of whom we next will deliver a brief information, hoping that this will encourage support for our brothers and sisters and to show the consequences of repression by the Chilean state against the Mapuche people.

FINAL WORDS
The updating of this list is mainly due to new arrests and precautionary measure changes facing our Pu weichafe. We must also not forget the countless cases that are open, where our pu peñi ka pu lamngen are in conditional liberty and must be signing daily or bi-weekly, with travel restrictions or other restrictive measure which prevents that they can freely exercise their normal work, it is also a severe economic blow to their families.
Finally we ask everyone to spread to the maximum the information contained in this list, in order to report on the actual situation regarding the Mapuche political prisoners.
** This information is obtained through visits to different prisons, communities and help of collaborators **
