repudiation grows in Chile Mapuche sentences
Santiago de Chile, Mar 24 (Prensa Latina) Representatives of the Chilean left and indigenous peoples expressed their rejection of high convictions against four Mapuche leaders and called for social mobilization in complaint what they called a terrorist act.
The sentence is an aberration and a way to practice something we might call legal terrorism to frighten the Mapuche in defending their rights, said the former presidential candidate Jorge Arrate.
The now member and spokesman of the New Left Force found that the Chilean people and all opposition parties, including coalition must demonstrate and expose the application to be made in the trial of the antiterrorism law, imposed by the regime Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990).
With the same view was delivered the day before the Communist Party of Chile (CCP), civic organizations and spokesmen for the convicts, who were sentenced to between 20 and 25 years in prison under questioning by the prosecutor attempted murder against Mario Elgueta in 2008.
Guillermo Teillier, MP and chairman of the CPC, looked at what happened as a result of an illegal process, marked by a profoundly racist and discriminatory bias. There is no equality before the law in Chile, received sentences as high for being Mapuche, "with false witnesses and hooded, the resources completely at odds with the law," she complained.
Teillier said that Chilean society "can not accept this and we must draw attention deeply into Parliament and the executive order to end this persecution."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the villagers, Natividad Llanquileo, announced that the decision not to withdraw the case will be taken to international courts, which will surely result in a conviction the State for human rights violations of indigenous peoples.
hope that the Supreme Court did not make the same mistake that the trial court would be very complex because it would have to go to international courts, he said.
Citizens' Watch for the organization, the "disproportionate and excessive" sentences imposed on the commoners in contrast to the impunity that has been made even murder against Mapuche by police in the region of La Araucania. Syndicated
