SOLIDARITY DEMONSTRATION FOR TORTUGA & THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE IN CHILE! WEDNESDAY 21ST MARCH
Meet 11:30AM outside Bristol Central Library

Luciano Pitronello, or “Tortuga” as his friends call him, was seriously injured on June 1, 2011 when an explosive device accidentally detonated as it was being placed at the entrance of a Santander bank in Santiago, Chile. After months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, he was indicted on two criminal charges related to the explosive device. His trial is scheduled to begin in April 2012.

The state prosecution has asked for a 15-year prison sentence for the comrade Luciano ‘Tortuga’, 12 years for terrorist offenses – use of an explosive device – and 3 years for using false license plates on the motorcycle used for the action. The trial is expected to begin in April. Tortuga is now in the Santiago 1 prison, in the hospital section.

Tortuga is an vegan anarchist committed to the struggle for animal and earth liberation.

We call for international solidarity , because we recognize neither borders not patriotism. let’s use every weapon against isolation!

Tell you what, why not censor all comments that point out what an absolute pointless muppet "Tortuga" is?!

First up - Who pays for the hospitalization and rehabilitation?
I bet there was a genuine person with a real illness who was denied a hospital bed and support from doctors and nurses because of his actions.

Secondly, what about the wasted tax payers money spent on his trial.

Thirdly, what about the wasted tax payers money spent keeping him in food and water in jail?

The public SHOULD NOT have to pay for this guys attempted win at a Darwin Award.
There are more deserving people who require the state's aid than this asshole.

Any particular reason why this demo needed to use the space of THREE separate posts on Indymedia?

And any feedback as to how many people actually showed-up on this demo? (I'd love to know)
