On December 11th comrades Hermes and Alfonso were arrested, in the comuna of Pudahuel, allegedly charged with participation in the assault on a Banco Estado in that comuna, where there was also murdered at the hands of a bastard and cowardly guardian of capital, the comrade Sebastián Oversluij Seguel. Later they were taken to the 26th precinct of Pudahuel, where they were informed that they would be transferred to court the next day.
On Thursday the 12th they were taken, to the anticipation and curiosity of the disgusting bourgeois press, to the Center of Justice, where at about 11am they were processed in the 1st Warrants Court of Santiago. In that hearing the prosecutor requested to expand the detention for three days in order to delay the formalization of the investigation for lack of antecedents and pending expertise, however, the defense opposed, and the court ordered that it be deferred until the afternoon.
At 4pm our comrades were entered into a new hearing where they were told the acts for which they were being investigated, formalized as robbery with intimidation and carrying prohibited firearms. Also, the prosecutor requested preventative detention arguing that the comrades were a danger to society, and of escape. The court granted the request, and decreed a 90 day period of investigation. The defense was entrusted to a Public Defender.
They were entered into the Maximum Security Section of the High Security Prison, where Hermes is on the third floor south, and Alfonso, on the third floor west. They have three hours in the courtyard together, two visits a week, and can receive packages on thursdays.
Donations for packages are being received at La Hiedra Library (Portales 2615) during Library hours (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 7pm to 9pm). These donations can consist of nonperishables (vegetarian), and personal hygiene items (soap, razors, deodorant, toilet paper, and the like).
We call for solidarity in all forms with our imprisoned comrades!
Down with the prison walls!
