Hunger Strike for a real solution to the complex conflict between the Mapuche nation and the Chilean State Mapuche political prisoners, tired and weary of violations of their rights, torture and persecution, even against minors, and excessive and arbitrary treatment by the Chilean State and Judiciary, took the grave decision to go on hunger and thirst strike from Monday, 12 July this year. [Castellano] [Ελληνικά] [Italiano] Hunger Strike for a real solution to the complex conflict between the Mapuche nation and the Chilean StateThe untenable situation which the various communities of the Mapuche people have faced for centuries has once again reached crisis point.
