11/04/11 Today marks the 50th day of the hunger strike lead by the comrades imprisoned on August 14th under the ‘bombs case’ farse and soon to reach their 8th month in prison. They themselves have stated that their bodily conditions grow increasingly difficult to cope with and grow worse with the days due to the 11 to 13 kilos each one has lost on average. In addition to the lack of food we should add the daily wear and psychological treatment their jailers inflict upon them.
Today, a group of comrades told them that they are not alone and that the struggle they carry within is reciprocated. In a propaganda action, the comrades climbed a traffic signal several feet above a crowded avenue in the capital with paintings alluding to the hunger strike, throwing leaflets and chanting for freedom. They remained chained there about an hour and a half before being taken down by the filthy repressive agents of the state.
Below, another group of comrades shouted to the pair and handed out propaganda information on the situation of the imprisoned comrades. As expected, the watchdogs of capital suppressed and kidnapped a total of 16 people, including those who held the paintings in the air. They passed a detention control at 16:00 hours today, so they will spend the night, morning and most of the afternoon at the police station before being moved to the center of “justice” to be charged with ‘serious disorders’ [translator: equivalent of gross misdemeanor, it seems].
Solidarity today, now, in all its forms, spaces and in all languages, because the prison-society threatens all of our lives.
IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL FREEDOM TO THE COMRADES KIDNAPPED FOR THE “BOMBS CASE” FARSE
DOWN WITH THE PRISON WALLS!
