UK NGO’s appeal to Chile for justice for jailed Mapuche hunger strikers/Day 80
Some photos of the demonstration which was convened on June 2, 2011 by Mapuche International Link, the International Human Rights Project and the UK Association of Chilean ex-Political Prisoners.

The protest was a public display of solidarity with the four indigenous ancestral land rights activists Héctor Llaitul, Ramón Llanquileo, Jonathan Huillical and José Huenuche, now entering their eightieth day of hunger strike. |
| All four hunger strikers are currently in a serious condition and require round the clock medical care. Today is their eightieth day without food and their survival will depend on the responses of the Chilean government |
|
 |
On Friday, June 3rd, the Chilean Supreme Court will decide whether or not the four men on hunger strike will be granted a re-trial on the grounds of mis-trial. |
| Reynaldo Mariqueo, had this to say about the march: “We want to show our support for the men on hunger strike and their families. They are demanding a fair trial without the application of the Anti-Terrorist Law, a law which is currently utilised to criminalise the just democratic demands of the Mapuche people, in reality this law is used to illegally terrorise an indigenous nation and their just democratic aspirations.” |
