Chile: Bombs case update (January 30 to February 17)

from solidaridadporlxspresxs, translated by war on society:

The political trial continues and begins to advance slowly chapter after chapter with the particular accusation against each comrade, bringing different police officers, experts or simply “at the scene” witnesses. This time the trial was suspended due to the extensive and continuous months of daily hearings, setting aside 5 days of “rest” to then return on February 13. The rhythm continues to be slow and tedious, so the prosecution asked for a day of recess at the beginning of next week (February 20) to put their evidence in order to present only the “important” witnesses after the tribunal’s continual appeals of attention; next week the evidence relating to this same chapter will continue. Continue reading

Switzerland: Statement from Billy on the hunger strike

we receive and publish this translation:

Prison separates us physically from the struggles. It isolates us from our loved ones and from the daily complicity of our paths of struggle; denying us our own desires. However it doesn’t manage to take them away from our head nor the fight from our spirit. On the contrary, the rage and hate we feel against these walls and our jailors roots them further on into our soul, into our flesh. Continue reading
