A comrade sends the following Rebel Diaz update…

Buenas Tardes Companeros,

It’s with a very heavy heart and rage that I write to you this morning. Once again Rodrigo (Rod Starz and (Gonzalo) G1 Venegas my beloved cousins and brothers in the struggle were harassed and violated by NYPD police. It was not enough that their civil and human rights were violated by being wrongfully detained and beat up for standing in solidarity with a Street Vendor. As children of political prisoners under Pinochet in Chile and Hijos de La Rebeldia we were taught to Speak OUT AND STAND UP AGAINST INJUSTICES now the values that were passed on from our elders are being criminalized. I am asking you to support our brothers by denouncing the acts of the Police Officers that, Today, at 2am went into G1’s (REBEL DIAZ) place in New York City with guns in hands and destroyed the entire place.. G1 along with two other people were held at gun point with their hands up while NYPD search for lord know what.. They had no warrant and would not say what it was they were supposedly searching for.
