These days that Wikileaks has revealed that reflect American archives of the Chilean state tactics to infiltrate and undermine the movement claiming ownership of the Mapuche movement. Days when all-political consultation and the right-known such files. Days in which characters called "Left" have come to know the CIA to help with the "indigenous issue" at the same institution that helped overthrow the President with which they fill their mouths to keep score. Days when the interior minister did not retract the false accusation by a Pakistani citizen, and days when videos of police abuse have spread Internet and TV.
It was in one of these days, precisely the December 14, 2010 at 2330 hrs .- when a police patrol arrived at the house of my parents in the commune of La Cisterna with a search warrant because of an alleged ludicrous-and anonymous reporting of a person who had been beaten and had information that the attacker had hidden at home. Determined to enter the home of my elderly parents-both-began to withdraw to a vigorous defense of the neighbors and also after the arrival of my brother, lawyer Lorenzo Morales Cortés. So the police ended up saying that they had realized it was a false report.
All this occurs within days of knowing the sentence against the policeman who allegedly murdered the young Mapuche Mendoza Collío opinion where my brother is the lawyer for the family of the murdered.
not the first time you face something like family. As stated on the site www.protectionline.org / Sr-Lorenzo-Morales-Cortes.html was raided our home and because of another complaint unclear in December 2008. At that time my brother defended Avelino Menaco activist and other leaders of Mapuche communities.
Given the immense wall of powers operating behind the backs of justice and freedom, I welcome the publication of my letter, that seek a way to publicly denounce the intimidation that my family is suffering. Something for us not only to reduce police abuse because the police are mere accessories to a state policy that, as revealed Wikileaks is taking repressive measures straight. Marcelo Morales Cortés
