Call for a black november in memory of Kevin Garrido
The anti-authoritarian comrade Kevin Garrido was captured by the Chilean dirty police on November 19, 2015, after placing and detonating an artisanal explosive device at one of the entrances to the San Bernardo gendarmerie school. After his capture, he was also accused of carrying out an explosive attack outside the 12th police station of San Miguel on October 29 of that same year, which was attributed to the International Conspiracy for Revenge – Gerásimos Tsakalos Explosion Cell. During the early hours of November 19, the police also captured comrade Joaquín García Chancks, accusing him of belonging, along with Kevin, to this cell responsible for the attack against the 12th police station.
After a long trial, Kevin was sentenced to 17 years in prison for attacking both police institutions with explosives, and Joaquín García was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the explosive attack and carrying a firearm that he had at the time been recaptured after escaping from house arrest in 2016.
On November 2, 2018, after having lived 3 years of imprisonment as a space of conflict against all types of authority, the comrade Kevin
Garrido had a fight with an unworthy and cowardly prisoner who attacked him from behind. Although his injuries were very serious, Kevin did not receive the medical assistance he needed inside the Santiago 1 prison/company and the ambulance took 1 hour and 15 minutes to transfer him to the Barros Luco hospital, where he died after a high-risk intervention.
Comrade Kevin Garrido Present in the anti-authoritarian and insurrectionary memory!
6 years after his cowardly murder, we do not forget the irreducible path that he followed from an early age, until the end of his days.
«On the street – and wherever I find myself – I am a mutinous complicit in everything criminal and in prison I do not cower nor do I have a
submissive attitude towards the jailers and any authoritarian bastard who passes through here. I don’t choke on nice speeches or phrases like: “death to all authority”and after a while I became victimized by a few coming blows from the Authority, an authority that I intend to
assassinate with my hands. I assume the “consequences” of my actions that never go hand in hand with passivity. Because this is my War, HERE AND NOW.»
Kevin Garrido, February 2016
Comrade Joakin García to the street
Comrade Freddy Muñoz Present
Down with all prisons and forms of authority
