Today, July 3rd, the sentence was read in the 7th Oral Court in the (Santiago) Prison against our brother Hans Niemeyer Salinas, who has spent one year and four months in prison.
The twelve day trial resulted in the compañero’s acquittal for the Anti-terrorist Law, but a sentence for the crimes of “damages” and infraction of the Arms and Explosives Control Law (a law created during Salvador Allende’s socialist government in the early 70s).
The judges spoke about how there was only evidence that Hans handled the bomb in the Macul BCI Bank, and not that he had fabricated that bomb. Moreover, he was absolved of his participation in the bombings against Automotora One, the Jaime Guzmán Memorial and an electrical transformer in Camino Las Flores.
In spite of the latest defeat of the Southern Prosecutor (after the acquittals of Lucaino, Carla and Ivan for infraction of the Anti-terrorist Law), headed by Cristián Toledo, the accusatory party is asking for 10 years of prison against the compañero.
The final verdict against Hans will be made known on Friday July 12th in room 403 of C Building at the Justice Center. We make a call to attend the final reading of the sentence, thus expressing solidarity with the compañero and his family (mother, partner and son).
MAY NO PRISONER BE ALONE!
ACTIVE SOLIDARITY WITH HANS NIEMEYER!
