Montevideo, Territory occupied by the Uruguayan State: Gesture of Solidarity with Monica and Francisco

July 19, 2023

On the afternoon of July 17, 2023, on the eve of the beginning of the trial against the anarchists Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, we decided to carry out a solidarity action in front of the Chilean embassy in Montevideo. The purpose of this action is to demonstrate the violence and viciousness of the government in power and the justice system in general that has kept them in preventive detention for three years now, a government that even dressed in its best progressive clothes cannot hide the fact that it keeps political prisoners in its prisons.
We do so once again to affirm that there are political prisoners in Chile and to back our comrades absolutely. Their actions are framed in the struggle against the violence of the State, they took the initiative and returned the blows received.

The repressive tradition of the post-dictatorship governments did nothing more than plunge the population into a loop of misery and violence. It is in this context that the events for which they will be judged starting July 18 take place. Justice, neither slow nor lazy, will do its best to make an exemplary punishment and will try to bury our comrades for decades under the walls of their prisons. To which we respond once and a thousand times that they will not be able to, even by convicting them, because we are many and we are everywhere, we will be the voice that amplifies their words and the hands that carry out the actions to come.
Without truce and in spite of their constant intimidation we are with the rebels hating the powerful.
A warm embrace to all like-minded comrades who show their solidarity day by day.

Neither guilty nor innocent!
Fear will change sides!
Long live anarchy!
Prisoners to the streets!
Anarchists.

Are they being tried in Chile on made up charges and the people that wrote this are from Montevideo, Uruguay? The article confuzzled me.

martin, yes, this isn't the most informative of communiques, but there's *so many* articles on this site and elsewhere about these two. do you need someone to search for you?

Ok to be fair to the first commenter, they've been on trial, over the course of the last decade, in more than 1 country. It's definitely confusing.
