Today in Labor History March 31, 1927: Birth of Cesar Chavez. In 1965, Chavez led farm workers in California on their first grape boycott. The nationwide protest lasted five years and ended with the first union contract for U.S. farm workers outside of Hawaii. In 1966, Chavez’s organization officially became the United Farm Workers. Chavez was inspired by the nonviolent civil disobedience of Gandhi. In addition to strikes, boycotts and pickets, he was famous for going on hunger strikes. Later he became infatuated with the religious cult, Synanon. He used Synanon’s “game” to punish union members and enforce conformity. Chavez also supported the brutal Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. This alienated Filipino members of the union, as well as many of the religious organizations that had supported the UFW.

Today in Labor History March 1, 1981: Provisional Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands began his hunger strike at HM Prison Maze. He was in prison for his role in the Balmoral Furniture Company bombing in 1976. During the hunger strike, he was elected to parliament. 10 prisoners died from starvation during the strike, including Sands. 100,000 people attended his funeral.

Continued thread

His death provoked strong anti-British, pro-Irish republican reactions around the world. The Iranian government renamed Winston Churchill Boulevard, the location of the British Embassy in Tehran, to Bobby Sands Street. This forced the embassy to move its entrance door to Ferdowsi Street to avoid using Bobby Sands Street on its letterhead. 2/2

Toni Chavero Begins New Hunger Strike in Solidarity with Marcelo Villarroel

From the extermination center of Aranjuez (Madrid), a territory occupied by the Spanish state, we receive and disseminate.

With some delay (because of these useless people, as usual) we received a letter from Toni Chavero, who has been transferred from Estremera to Aranjuez, both extermination centers located in Madrid. In his letter, Toni denounces the “low intensity” repressive situation to which he is being subjected. To make him explode and make him end up in isolation. Retention of personal belongings, packages returned with a disgusting and trashy reasoning, retention of money and other tasks typical of these savage bastards, to make daily life more difficult. In addition to the struggle he maintains on a personal level, in addition to actively and passively denouncing every swear against him or close comrades, Toni asks us to make public this statement that we publish below in which he announces a new hunger strike that began last Friday the 15th, in solidarity with Marcelo Villarroel, for his immediate release. It is the third hunger strike that Toni has started, in solidarity with his imprisoned comrade in Chile.

It states:

In view of the forecast of my protest calendar, for the unwavering support and solidarity with anti-authoritarian prisoners around the world, I return on this occasion to support once again Marcelo Villarroel, kidnapped by the terrorist state of Chile under the military laws of Pinochet, the genocidal dictator. I am forced, once again, to vindicate the kidnapping in which our comrade is being held. Despite what happens to me in this infected pit to which I have been brought, Marcelo’s kidnapping is the main reason why I start my hunger strike. To make visible the situation of Marcelo Villarroel, kidnapped under obsolete laws when they are interested, making them valid when they are not. Prevailing in a state of law without rights, the world upside down for Marcelo. Laws that are enforced by a state of genuine terrorists/legislators.

If you were in the Spanish State, Marcelo, they would have you under the law of vagabonds and thugs, they would apply the law of escapes, the shitty Francoists would want to give you a vile garrotte. Like the damn Boric, disguised as a progressive, because they are the real terrorists, comrade. We are only guilty of being anarchists and libertarians, guilty of loving. We are proud to be guilty, irretrievable. Irretrievably aware of our condition as human beings. Marcelo, from this cage you will hear a cry for freedom. Marcelo, a comrade, a cry of rebellion and friendship.

On Friday, November 15, I begin the hunger strike, I don’t know how long, because there are not enough walls or barriers to separate our brotherhood. There are no distances that silence our voices, comrades on the lines, in the prison or in the street, on the barricades, from outside and from within, demanding your liberation, telling the corrupt Chilean State that enough is enough. That’s enough.

From this cage I have sent letters denouncing your situation, for cooperating with your kidnapping, to the Chilean embassy in Madrid and they will have to listen to us in silence because this reason cannot be refuted. There are no arguments. From Iberia we shout for your release. Free Marcelo, you bastards!

For a society without cages, comrade. Here we are, a heartbeat away.

AS LONG AS THERE IS MISERY THERE WILL BE REBELLION!
MARCELO VILLARROEL A LA KALLE NOW!

Toni Chavero, a prisoner in Extremera prison, Madrid, has begun a hunger strike as an act of solidarity with the autonomous subversive prisoner Marcelo Villarroel, the only prisoner in $hile convicted under military justice, the same one that Boric’s government has made seem obsolete and non-existent, hiding the fact that it still maintains under that regime a comrade who fought against the dictatorship and the repressive apparatuses of the false transition.

Below we share text sent to La Zarzamora from Madrid, territory occupied by the Spanish state.

“With some delay, we received a letter from the extermination center of Estremera – Madrid VII, from our comrade Toni Chavero. He informs us that yesterday, October 1, he began a hunger strike in solidarity with Marcelo Villarroel, for his immediate release. It is the second hunger strike that he has initiated, demanding the freedom of Marcelo, who completed his sentence in December last year and is still being held hostage in the Gonzalina prison-company, in Rancagua, a territory dominated by the Chilean state. He had started fasting last September. Since the 15th of last month and the 1st and 15th of each month, before starting this hunger strike, for the 14 points of the protest table “in case someone joins. I will continue even if it is alone.”

As in the previous hunger strike, Toni shouts again for “… THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF MARCELO VILLARROEL SEPÚLVEDA, KIDNAPPED BY THE CHILEAN STATE, WHOSE CURRENT “PROGRESSIVE” GOVERNMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE JAILERS OF CHILE, APPLIES TO HIM THE LAWS ALREADY REPEALED BY THE MILITARY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE OF THE DICTATOR PINOCHET IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAW 321 PROPOSED BY THE SAME JAILERS WHO SERVED THE DICTATOR, LEGISLATED AND HAPPILY APPLIED BY THIS SELF-STYLED LEFT-WING GOVERNMENT…” addressing again to his ambassador in Spain to ask for “a response from his embassy in Madrid to my complaint to the Chilean state, for allowing the forced and illegal confinement that keeps my comrade kidnapped.

That is why I will continue to demand his immediate release. I will fast in solidarity with my comrade Marcelo for an indefinite period of time, on the same terms as my previous demands of last year. I want his immediate release, as well as the immediate disappearance of the dictator Pinochet’s use of military laws in the present and in the future. It is enough to take over the tools of the dictator’s horror of the past to camouflage them in a false Democratic government. The Chilean embassy must listen to me, as part of the Chilean state. Marcelo Villarroel’s current situation must cease immediately, so that he can resume his life from the position in which you want to leave him.”

He has also sent letters to the Congress of Thieves and to the Defensor de Nadie (Defensor del Pueblo) with the same points of demand.

He sends a greeting to the comrades who continue to remember him and ends his letter like this:

FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE CONVICTIONS OF THE MILITARY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE OF THE GENOCIDAL MURDERER PINOCHET TO OUR COMRADE MARCELO VILLARROEL!

AS LONG AS THERE IS MISERY THERE WILL BE REBELLION!

MARCELO TO THE STREET NOW!

Day 3 of a #HungerStrike by anonymous #autistic #cuckooing victim who has endured 4 years of the #corrupt Cheshire Police refusing to prosecute the perpetrators and return her house, identity, and life. Any #probono #lawyer willing and able to help end this #modernslavery?

Here is her story:
