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] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Best wishes, Maritza Montero ___________________________________ The Community Psychology List has a new website/blog at: http://www.communitypsychology.co.uk/ There is a threaded discussion forum: http://www.communitypsychology.co.uk/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi There is a twitter feed: http://twitter.com/CommPsychUK To post on the website blog, forum or twitter feed, contact Grant or David at the email addresses below.
