---------- From: Estela Fuentes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mapuche campaign Date: Monday, August 16, 1999 7:34 PM Hi Irene, this email was sent to me by a friend, she is Mapuche and works for an organisation called Lulul Mawidha, a media organisation, obviously it's been translated and she ask's for it to be redistributed. The law will mean that the ninth region, where Temuco is, will be the only region where this law will be applied, Temuco and it's surrounding towns and communities (the ninth region) is predominantly Mapuche settled. The authorities will literally get away with murder.......... > Subject: please respond and pass on this message > > Just a week away from the presidential call in La Moneda to "a great civilian > treaty" to resolve the Mapuche problem, the Mayor of the 9th Region, Oscar > Eltit, required last Wednesday 11th of August, to the Appealing Court of > Temuco, that the State Security Law be applied to all those responsible for > the fires that occured in the region which affected the Forestry Corporation > of Mininco in Collipulli and Ercilla. > > Las principales sospechas, por cierto recaen sobre los líderes Mapuche, > así como en la Coordinadora de Comunidades de Arauco y Malleco, a > quienes no sólo se le atribuyen estos incidentes sino que a además se > les vincula con organismos extremistas los cuales estarían infiltrando > las comunidades. > > The main suspects, are of course the Mapuche leaders, as well as the > Community Cordinator of Arauco and Malleco, who not only have been attributed > with the fires but also been linked with extremist organisations, which > according to the authorities would be infiltrating these communities. > > > If the State Security Law is applied this coming Monday 16th of August, > anybody consider a suspect can be detained, more police will "patrol" the > communities, and everything will be done in secrecy to the point that even > the press could be prohibited of informing the public of what is taking place > during this procedures. > > The represive character of such a measure not only shows the antidemocratic > sentiments of the government, but also the intention of the government to > give a delictual character to the organizations and activities developed by > the Mapuche communities, in order to divide the society about the Mapuche > problem. > > It is very important to send faxes to the following persons asking them not > to pass the State Security Law against the Mapuche people. > > > JULIO GRANDON > PDTE DE LA CORTE DE APELACION DE TEMUCO > FAX : 56- 45- 271891 > > > OSCAR ELTIT > INTENDENTE DE TEMUCO > IX REGION > 56-45 - 213064 > > > Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle > Presidente de la República, > Palacio de la Moneda, > Santiago, Chile. > Fax: 56-2-6 90 40 20 > > > Ministerio del Interior > Santiago, Chile. > Fax: 56-2-6992165 > > > > > > ************************************* > Jeannette Paillan > Lulul Mawidha > Fono/fax: 562-2714845 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Direccion: > Americo Vespucio 1587 , Dpto 14 Macul > Santiago - Chile > ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
