94 days on strike a Mapuche political prisoner
His name is Guillermo Camus Jara, and he's in Lebu Prison in Chile. The situation worsens when, in addition to a long hunger strike, a thirst strike has begun since Friday.
Mapuche prisoners and their relatives report ill-treatment and hygiene problems in Lebu prison. Guillermo Camus Jara, a prisoner of prison, began his protest at the move to the educational and labour centre in Cañete, with a better prison situation.
After 94 days of hunger strike and 20 kilos lost, on Friday he decided to harden the protest and began an unlimited thirst strike. Renal impairment, headache, generalised myalgia, muscle weakness, fatigue and abdominal pain. According to Radio Mapuche Kurruf, he is stable, quiet and has all the awareness of the mobilization he carries out. From his community and family he calls for Lebu prison to leave and ask about Camus's state of health.
He denounced in a letter that "the authorities use all kinds of arbitrary methods against all Mapuche to prevent them from entering those educational and work centres better". Camus reports that the documentation of several Mapuche prisoners who requested it in December has been "lost" and have not received explanations from those responsible.
The Chilean Gendarmerie has qualified as guilty "for the arbitrary use of its power and for the inability to visit its family, condemning its relatives and relatives to not be able to visit it for 30 days. "Thus, once again, they demonstrate that the rulers do not take into account the standards of human rights, with which they intend to increase our harsh situation inside prisons, moving away from our children and friends, who make enormous sacrifices to reach these prisons," he said.
One of the main conflicts of Chilean President Gabriel Boric since the beginning of his mandate has been the conflict in the territory of Araucania in the south. In recent years, the struggle between the Mapuches and the Chilean state, among others, for land ownership has... [+]
