48 DETENIDOS EN VIOLENTO DESALOJO DE TOMA EN CAMINO A PASCUA LAMA
Chile, Jueves, 25 de enero de 2007 Comunicaciones OLCA Mas de 80 personas cerraban pacÌficamente desde la noche del lunes 22 de enero el camino en la localidad de Chollay y Conay, Comuna de Alto del Carmen. El objetivo de la acciÛn era no permitir el ingreso de camiones y vehÌculos de las empresas mineras que ahÌ operan, especialmente de la minera Barrick Gold Responsable del proyecto Pascua Lama. Esta ocupaciÚn devolvÏa todos los vehÌculos de uso minero ya que esta zona no tiene vias de acceso aptas para maquinaria pesada, situaciÛn advertida por Conama quien prohibiÛ este tipo de transporte pero no realiza ningun tipo de fiscalizaciÛn. Mientras esta acciÛn se desarrollaba en forma absolutamente pacÌfica, a las 11 de la maÒana del dÌa 25 de enero llegaron fuerzas especiales de Carabineros, enviados desde Vallenar, a desalojar a las personas que participaban en le control del camino, esto se hizo de forma violenta, con golpes y forcejeos. Se detuvo a 48 personas (ciudadanos chilenos, espaÒoles, franceses y argentinos), algunos fueron esposados (entre ellos el Concejal Luis Faura) dejando fuera sÛlo a niÒos y ancianos de la zona. Los detenidos fueron trasladados en 4 camionetas, 1 furgÛn, un bus de Carabineros y un bus de recorrido a Vallenar, fueron llevados a constatar lesiones al hospital y luego a la tercera comiserÌa de esa ciudad. Posteriormente ser·n pasados a la audiencia de control de detenciÛn frente al juez de GarantÌa, momento en que se sabr·n los cargos por los que fueron detenidos. Las organizaciones han declarado que estas acciones se seguir·n desarrollando en el futuro, mientras se mantenga la amenaza minera en el Valle del Huasco.

Esta es la primera medida de las iniciativas acordadas en el "llamado del agua", actividad realizada el fin de semana en Conay. Con la acciÛn se busca un llamado de alerta permanente sobre los 7 proyectos mineros que el Estado ha concesionado en la zona y en forma especial por el rechazo al proyecto binacional Pascua Lama. Adem·s este corte pacÌfico del camino es un acto de rechazo a la poca informaciÛn que se le entrega a los ciudadanos sobre estos temas. Actitud contraria a la que se le tiene al personal de Barrick que sigue teniendo libre acceso a la obra a pesar de que las faenas deberÌan estar paralizadas por determinaciones legales. Se hace un llamado a la comunidad a la defensa de la tierra, el agua y la vida.

News Release - OLCA Communications 48 Arrested In Violent Removal of Pascua Lama Blockade Chile, Thursday, 25, January, 2007 More than 80 people peacefully closed the intersection of the roads to Chollay and Conay, in the community of Alto del Carmen, beginning the night of Monday, January 22. The objective of the action was to prevent the entrance of trucks and vehicles of the mining companies that operate there, specially of Barrick Gold "Responsible Mining" for the Pascua Lama project. The blockade turned back all mining vehicles since this region does not have roads that are adequate for heavy machinery - a situation noted by the Chilean Environmental Commission (CONAMA), which prohibited this type of transport but does not enforce the prohibition. While this action was undertaken in completely peaceful form, when military police special forces arrived from Vallenar at 11am on January 25 to remove the blockaders, it was in a violent manner, with blows and struggles. 48 people were arrested, including Chilean, Spanish, French and Argentinean citizens. Some were handcuffed (among themCouncilman Luis Faura) leaving behind only old people and children from the area. The prisoners were transferred to Vallenar in 4 light trucks, 1 van, a military police bus, and a commercial bus. They were taken to the hospital to document their injuries at the hands of the police and then to the Third Commisariat of Vallenar. They are due to appear at a show cause hearing where the judge will let them know the charges they were detained for. The organizations have declared that these actions will be continued in the future, as long as the Huasco Valley is threatened by mining.

This is the first of many actions and initiatives within the "Call to Water" events this past weekend in Conay. This action was carried out to create a permanent alert calling attention to the seven mining projects which the State has given concessions to in the area, and specifically to show rejection of the binational Pascua Lama mining project. In addition this nonviolent blockade of the road shows opposition to the lack of information shared with residents regarding these issues. These actions are essential because personnel of Barrick Gold continue to have free access throughout the area of operations despite the fact that their works should be paralyzed due to the ongoing legal challenges. The community has made a call for the defence of land, water and life.
