Claudio found the trip very worthwhile, and he was able to speak to many, many people about the situation in Chile, and in particular the student movement which shook that nation last year and has inspired a resurgence in social movement activity in the country.

Rally in support of the Mapuche Political Prisoners in Chile!
FOR THE LIFE OF PATRICIA TRONCOSO! JANUARY, TUESDAY 15, 2008 “Patricia Troncoso who began her fast in early October was taken to the hospital from her jail in the southern city of Angol to treat her deteriorating heath. She and three others were found guilty of “terrorism” for a series of “called” arson attacks on Mapuche lands, but owned by forestry companies. Their first trial ended in a mistrial, while in the second prosecutors used the testimony of an anonymous hooded witness to get a conviction. The four were charged and sentenced under a set of anti-terrorism laws passed during the Pinochet dictatorship. Efforts to reduce their charges from terrorism failed after negotiations broke down between the Mapuche, senators and the government. The Mapuche want prosecutors to stop using the anti-terrorist act. They are also demanding the return of Mapuche lands, currently in the hands of forestry companies be returned to Mapuche communities. The government says it is willing to listen and negotiate but not “under” pressure, now the government is waiting for Patricia Troncoso’s death”. We urgently request support in any way as possible, assisting to the rally on Tuesday 15 at Melbourne GPO at 5pm, organising activities in you city or state, sign the petitions and write letters, emails and faxes to the Chilean authorities expressing you concern and demanding the release of all Mapuche political prisoners and respect their lives. Help to save the life of Patricia Troncoso The people mobilising and demanding its rights...achieve victories!

LASNET Newsletter Spring 2009-Summer 2010 2009  Dubán Vélez  Pascual Pichún Emergency Meeting Program & Speakers  Protest/Rally for Colombia & Honduras, March 20 Thank you to all the comrades who came to the demonstration in support of the Latin American people, Honduras, Haiti and Chile. More than 50 people attended the demonstration on March 20th in Federation Square, Melbourne to protest the presence of US in Latin America and against the 7 military bases in Colombia and a strategic base in Honduras. Our demonstration was also a protest against the regime of President Uribe because of its innumerable human rights violations through the forced displacements,the criminalisation of social movements, the jailing of peasents and indigenous people and the persecution of the people of Colombia by its anti-terrorist policies. What is more our demonstration was also in support of the workers and union leaders who are suffering daily persecution for defending their rights. We send them fraternal greetings from Australia to the workers of the Coca Cola multinational in Colombia who are fighting for workers rights and their own survival. We were also protesting the criminalisation of international solidarity, because the solidarity that we represent supports marginalised people and the original inhabitants of Latin America. Thanks again to all the organisations and unions who gave their support for Sinaltrainal and the social organisations of Colombia on their behalf we send a big thank you.
