Solidarity with Paraguayan political prisoners against isolation, torture and repression

The fascist state of Paraguay has transferred the political prisoners Carmen and Laura Villalba and Francisca Andino to the high-security prison of Minga Guazú, in the department of Alto de Paraná.

The persecution of the political prisoners has been constant and prolonged from the time they were detained until now. The transfer has no ‘legal’ justification; its intention is to keep Carmen Villalba in prison, where she will serve a longer sentence than the one she has already served (Carmen has been in pre-trial detention for 20 years although she has already served her 17-year sentence). New charges are being invented, political and judicial fabrications.

This persecution comes on top of the impunity and obstruction of justice in the Lichita case (the enforced disappearance of Carmen’s daughter, who was last seen in the hands of the military police) and the case of the murdered minors (the police killed minors, dressing them after their death in the military uniforms of the guerrilla group EPR-Ejércitoparaguayo del pueblo ) and to the persecution suffered by the Villalba family in Argentina (family members of political prisoners were arrested and suffered repression).
