Mr. Valentin Muxi

Honorary Consul of Chile in Barcelona.

In our consideration

the undersigned, groups, organizations, citizens from around the world, we are writing to express our protest and concern about health and living status of proceedings 32 Mapuche political prisoners, conducting a hunger strike, begun on July 12 in five Chilean prisons.

Most of these citizens are being tried by the Terrorism Act, enacted under the military dictatorship. We know that the application of the law is disproportionate to the crimes they are accused to trial. She allows the Chilean judiciary to imprison citizens for long periods of preventive detention, in addition to the use of faceless witnesses. The legitimate doubts about the authenticity of the statements of those witnesses in the case besides political processes are enhanced when you know that those who lend to testify thereby getting money from the prosecutor, the accused party.

In recent years, this law has been applied only Mapuche activists. This concerns us greatly, we can not but note that the law is enforced by the state in a discriminatory manner, against the Mapuche in particular. In addition, there is double trial detainees who are subject processed by the civilian and military justice in the same case. This amazing support, own the Chilean legal system but incompatible with basic democratic principles, it seems a cruelty intended to contain the protest by the Mapuche social intimidation.

We are aware of a series of documents prepared by human rights organizations, who report violations of the rights of the defense and, more generally, the human rights of Mapuche activists. We are very concerned about the present moment, both from the standpoint of human and political. We have information regarding the deteriorating health of the prisoners, who have extended their action to the government's insensitivity to address both your particular problem as the conflict with the Mapuche people.

Therefore we ask your government to immediately address the demands of political prisoners Mapuche are not applying the anti-terrorism law in their judgments, they were not tried by military courts, freedom to all (as) prisoners (as) political (as) Mapuche and to put an end to the militarization of territorial conflict areas Wallmapu.

appreciate your prompt action and response, Yours sincerely,
