Leonardo Quijon Stops Hunger Stike

December 16^th, 2012

Public Communique No. 4 by Leonardo Quijon , Mapuche Political Prisoner from Angol Prison

I Leonardo Quijon  Pereira, Mapuche Political Prisoner of the Chequenco Community wish to inform the national and international community the following:

1. Due to the concern and petitions of my family for the serious state of my health, I am stopping the hunger strike I began on November 27^th.
2. I am innocent in the murder of peasant Gallardo and am willing to go under take any forensic examination to demonstrate this, so my charges can be dropped by the Prosecution.
3. I will continue to struggle for the truth in this case and the set-ups that accuse me.
4. The public hearing on December 13^th rejected my release because Prosecutor Chamorro has not handed in the evidence of the investigation.
5. I wish to thank all the Lamnien [Sisters and Brothers] that supported and joined me during this hunger strike and those that continue to support me.
