January 23, 2011
Diego Sebastian Leandro Sebastian Petrissans and Morel were arrested on January 23, 2006, accused of stealing a television producer Ideas del Sur, owned by Marcelo Tinelli.
were tried in the same year and sentenced to 10 years for Diego and 11 years for Leandro, who did not find any evidence in the raids, nor was recognized in the first lineup, but rests on the law of presumption of guilt, that is, when in doubt, guilty.
were housed in maximum security prison in Marcos Paz. During those years have dealt with and struggled against the constant violations of the prison service and arbitrary judicial institution that keeps locked at will hundreds of people.
Diego involved there in the beginning of a library of books on anarchism and others with material that will come their comrades from the outside (project not just because of its transfer). Involved in hunger strikes and shows its solidarity with other anarchists and rebels presxs worldwide. And you also get his sentence reduced to 8 years and 6 months.
In March 2009, Diego was taken to the Villa Devoto prison, given his status as a university student in jail. There he participates University Center actively Devoto and continues to participate in hunger strikes and other charitable initiatives.
In February 2010 Leandro is transferred to the unit No. 7 of Chaco (maximum security) where it is until the day of the date, hoping to still get the level necessary for its exit transitional according to the times established respect to penalties and they should be given some time.
Diego in September 2010 received an arrest warrant on charges virtual kidnappings carried out by suspected from prison. This investigation derived in the raid at 13, college flag, and a week later, breaking the university center Devoto and subsequent transfer to the prison companion Marcos Paz, which by then had begun with six companions but a hunger strike ( that would last 54 days) in protest against this and demand the return of the operation of CUD.
Diego of today is accused in this case under any incriminating evidence.
been a little more than five years of detention of colleagues, that January 23 was for some of us a blow. The situation was difficult. Beyond the pressure of the enemies, the indifference of the people, assumptions, conclusions, comments, fears, put a stop to what could have been a coherent response to repression. Do not forget that these events were something that happened not long ago in our region: the search for a space like the Ateneo, detention, search of evidence that lack even stop, etc. The most cercanxs comrades, some younger, some more big, we did not have complete certainty about things, or the magnitude of the events we did not know where I could reach the hazard. Things were going as they could. Unfortunately we could not go ahead with local and decided under the force of the situation, end the project and close it.
A few months came to light the first reported what happened. Information about what happened, reflections on the events and especially about the attitude of the companions on this single event. There was always something to criticize and was silence. Little is said and peer into custody. was almost two years after people began to take joint initiatives already put in discussion certain aspects of solidarity with prisoners and on this specific case. We believe that the anti-authoritarian environment we still have much to learn, what happened five years ago in Buenos Aires, is not the same thing is happening in Chile for a while, although the facts are the same (space raids, arrests, persecuted colleagues, etc.) believe that the suppression of pump case has a more political hue, maybe as it was in Italy. And while the facts of Avellaneda set a precedent, there is neither political prisoners, or assemblies [1], or anything like it. No possibility of anarchist prisoners talk or report an assembly, or create specific campaigns, etc. we seem to be a difficulty. This really aroused in us some thoughts on the fight against the prison.
Recent years have been talking about the reality in Argentine prisons: The February 11, 2005 a riot in the prison of San Martín de Córdoba leaves a balance of 8 killed and 30 wounded; On July 27, 2005 a violent riot in the prison of Villa Urquiza in San Miguel de Tucumán was with several wounded prisoners; On October 15, 2005 died as a result of a fire, 33 inmates in jail Magdalena, The November 4, 2007 another 33 prisoners killed by suffocation by fire in a riot at the prison in Santiago del Estero, in September 2006 more than 14,000 prisoners remained on hunger strike in 28 federal prisons and protesting Buenos Aires against the slow pace of justice for sentencing of prisoners (now over 80% of the prison population is being held without trial) the administration in 2008 over 1700 prison receives complaints from prisoners and relatives of torture and ill-treatment in prisons in the province; In March 2010 another mass hunger strike demanding reforms in various jails in the criminal law and procedure. Death row prisoner to HIV because of medical neglect. In October, the strike starts college Devoto prisoners by the above facts ...
Among many other things, was and is in the context of prison conditions that we have been creating a stir by peers. We achieved all this time a bond of support and direct solidarity with them and have known a little about the reality of the Argentine prisons and met other prisoners with a fighting spirit and strong solidarity.
The road was and will be long and difficult, but we went ahead, hoping finally see in the street to our peers.
DIEGO FREEDOM AND LEANDER.
FREEDOM all our comrades
VIVA LA LIBERTAD, DEATH TO THE PRISON.
January 2011, anarchists from Rio de la Plata.
[1] remember anyway that Leandro was convicted without evidence linking him to the robbery, which was recognized only in the second lineup ... presumption of guilt. Rather than mounting, this is justice and the law itself.
