Thursday, March 30, 2006 Linda Backiel, Lawyer for Antonio Camacho
Negrón<br><br>
Last night I met with Antonio. He is in solitary confinement
because he refused to answer questions that are made of new
prisoners. He is not receiving his medicines and his cell is
flooded. He is not being given toilet paper.<br><br>
As always his spirits are high. I understand that his arrest on the
afternoon of the first day of the National Congress for Decolonization is
due to a desire to repress those efforts. He is the national
organizer of the Congress and dedicated it to the political prisoners
just before being arrested around 4:00 p.m. in a street in Río
Piedras.<br><br>
Antonio declared that "The Congress that is taking place
simultaneously in several universities and colleges throughout the
country by all anti-colonial sectors has received tremendous support and
the government of the United States is making its move to once again
attempt to repress the desires of our people to regain its
sovereignty."<br><br>
He reiterated that his stand in the towards the courts is the same as
always: he does not recognize their jurisdiction. "The Federal
Court is not in Puerto Rico to meet out justice, but to kidnap the
sovereignty of the people of Puerto Rico and to impose the expansionist
imperialist policies of the United States. What is good for the
hunter is not good for the hunted."<br><br>
Antonio also emphasized the fact that just before his arrest by the same
federal agents that arrested him at the Congress, he had just asked all
those present, not for a minute of silence, but a minute of applause for
Filiberto Ojeda Ríos.<br><br>
It is important to note that a support picket for Antonio was organized
on Saturday April 1st in front of MDC Guyanabo. The organizers will
continue organizing pickets every Saturday until Antonio is released from
jail!!<br>
