Dear colleagues and friends,
The Mapuche people, in Chile, have been fighting for their territory
ever since the Spaniard conquerors tried to enter their land. Today
they fight not only for the territory where they have always lived,
and that they are now defending from new dangers; but also for their
civil, social, political, and human rights. A law has been
presented to the Congress in Chile, that will define their fight as
terrorism, thus giving way to radical measures against them.
Chilean psychologists are suporting their claim and their rights,
and trying to save the lives of a group of women and men who
already have been in hunger strike for two months.
Endorsing the psychologists Statement is a way to support the
Mapuches and a way to make known what is being kept in silence by
the government and the press.
Please add your names to the Statement the Chilean psychologists
will present tomorrow to the Chilean authorities. Send your
endorsement to Georg Unger ([log in to unmask])
Best wishes,
Maritza Montero
