After More than 3 Months, the Trial Against Brothers Lucas and Aldo Hernandez Concludes
This Monday, November 3, the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernandez concluded, with them being sentenced to 21 and 12 years in prison respectively. This followed more than three months of hearings, during which the powerful apparatus attempted to secure an exemplary punishment for both brothers.
On July 21 of this year, amidst protests and numerous acts of solidarity, the lengthy trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernandez began at the Santiago (In)Justice Center. The prosecution, comprised of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Chilean Gendarmerie, initially demanded intolerably excessive sentences, ranging from 20 years in prison for Lucas to 90 years for Aldo Hernandez.
Following the reading of the verdict on October 3rd, the plaintiffs requested a sentence of 32 years and 1100 days for Aldo and 18 years and 800 days for Lucas. The defense requested a sentence of 26 years for Aldo and 12 years for Lucas. Finally, on November 3rd, the sentences of 21 years for Aldo and 12 years for Lucas were handed down.
The sentences, detailed in a document of over 400 pages, addressed three incidents: 1- The attack on the General Directorate of the Gendarmerie in December 2021, 2- The raid on a residence in Loncura, and 3- The raid on a residence in La Victoria.
Aldo Hernandez was found guilty of the attack on the Gendarmerie Directorate, but acquitted of the charges of minor injuries to prison guards and receiving stolen goods. He was also found guilty in relation to the items found during the raid in Loncura (count 2), but acquitted of all charges related to the raid on the La Victoria residence (count 3). Lucas, for his part, was convicted of most of the crimes related to the La Victoria residence, but acquitted of the charges of weapons manufacturing and manufacturing explosive devices.
From Aldo’s defense team, attorney Washington Lizana, speaking with La Zarzamora, stated:
“Our overall assessment is positive. While we didn’t fully achieve all of the defense’s objectives, if we analyze it in relation to the prosecution’s case and the prosecution’s demands, we’ve returned to a more reasonable situation—I think that’s the right word. We have to start from the premise that the prosecution’s case against Aldo and Lucas began with a request for a sentence of over 100 years in Aldo’s case and 26 years in Lucas’s case… It involved several crimes charged by the prosecutor—16 crimes grouped into three separate incidents: one incident on December 27, 2021, involving the placement and detonation of the National Gendarmerie Directorate by two people traveling on a motorcycle, and several related offenses, plus two incidents that occurred on December 22, 2022, during various raids and searches. Various properties related to the investigation of incident number 1. Incident number 2 was linked to items found at a residence in the Quinteros district, and incident number 3 to items found at a residence in Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Sixteen charges were brought against Aldo Hernandez, of which the court acquitted him of ten and convicted him on six: two from incident number 1 and four from incident number 2. The court acquitted him of all charges related to incident number 3. In this sense, the sentence partially accepts the Public Prosecutor’s request, amounting to 20 percent of the total sentence sought.”
Regarding the outcome of this trial and the increased sentences handed down in recent trials of our comrades, he added:
“It’s progress; it wasn’t ideal, nor was it the objective of this defense, but it puts the situation, the framework of criminal prosecution, in a more reasonable scenario. In that sense, it’s important to consider that this trial is taking place within a social context characterized by a punitive fervor, an overreaction by the media and various state bodies, the criminalization of political and social organizations that confront the state, in more direct confrontation, and the manipulation of public opinion in this policy of intensifying criminalization. It was a difficult scenario, and we had seen that in recent years, in the latest cases related to these crimes, the sentences had reached irrational levels. For example, in the case of Camilo Gajardo, in 2017-2018, there was an oral trial regarding that young man, and the prosecution in this same court obtained a 43-year sentence. In this same court, a couple of years ago, the conviction of Francisco Solar for 86 years also emerged. So, of course, the prosecution, based on those criminal convictions, intensified its sentencing demands, its punitive claims, its criminal prosecution strategy, and wanted to repeat the same scenario here in the same court with significantly increased sentences, with charges of multiple offenses. I believe that with this ruling, the court has put things right.
It’s worth remembering that both brothers were arrested on December 22, 2022, at their home in the La Victoria neighborhood, after being investigated by the South Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office in connection with the 2021 attack on the Gendarmerie Directorate. The investigation was carried out by OS9, GOPE, and Labocar to incriminate the brothers, who were considered persons of interest at the time. It is also important to mention that these raids were witnessed and experienced by children, who were exposed to the violence of the repressive forces, which could have been avoided.
Following this reading of the sentence, further legal action is not ruled out, pending its study and analysis.

[Chilean Prisons] For an August of Black Memory of Combat. Words of the Anarchist Comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández
The absence they leave to their comrades must have an impact on the daily lives of those who did know them, who crossed more than a word must miss them, and how could they not? Who is prepared for the death of a sibling? Although we can put ourselves in the situation, scenario, there is no certainty of being prepared, all feeling is always one’s own and individual, what one can feel inside, you have to live it in your own flesh to talk about the loss.
We did not walk together with you, we did not know you, but comrades give an account of your determined journey to face this reality.
These lines are to bring to mind Luciano, Belén and Lupi, that no comrade has to die in a distant memory, but to bring them present in every moment that is decided to confront the established.
For Luciano, Lupi, Belén, Santiago Maldonado, Macarena Valdés and so many who died or killed us…
First week of a Black August.

(Chile) Claim of Molotov Action in Solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH
Claim of incendiary outing in solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH, July 10.
The urban guerrilla persists in every action, in every moment where the foundations of this society tremble and fear is replaced by the terror of the imminent conflict.
These are the words that we hear in everyday life, in the diversity of spaces that at some point in our journey we have heard but that have multiplied even more with the passage of time, however fewer and fewer violent actions occur in this disgusting society, rather than wanting to deepen and carry out a thorough analysis of this (which we believe should be taken care of by the pathetic academics who enjoy playing the passive role in the face of the enemy of much theory and no action), we want to vindicate our brothers Aldo and Lukas through actions that were carried out in the search to break the passive and unhealthy daily life mentioned in which at the gates of their trial we decided to show brief but necessary gestures of combative solidarity, that those who face decades of imprisonment are not alone and that the conflict persists against those who subject us to this alienated life, that although today it was only an incendiary confrontation against the bastard police, in the near future there will be bullets piercing their bodies and bombs exploding in their faces, Prosecutors, gendarmes, police or any collaborator of the day we are living in, do not sleep peacefully, that we continue to sharpen our ideas and real threats will be made against you, that nothing is finished, that everything continues here in one way or another, that we know our path and that no matter what we will take our freedom and that of our brothers by assault.
LONG LIVE THE FIRE AND THE TERROR OF EXPLOSIONS.
ALDO AND LUKAS TO THE STREET

(Chile) Words of Gratitude for Each Gesture of Solidarity for our Trial, Aldo and Lucas Hernández
It is the desire to send us affection, the movement of the body that goes on to develop acts of propaganda, action and solidarity that makes us write these lines. We approached that freedom in that fire on July 10 outside the USACH, our names sound in the streets of this city, also on that wall in Montevideo, Uruguay on which anonymous comrades wrote at night, they expressed that ideas will be a real threat, in those solidarity letters of different comrades who experience confinement just like us and send us pushes of conviction for these days of trial, also that oxygen that we breathed on the first day of trial with the rally outside the courts, where comrades, brothers, family went to accompany us and shout loudly our names and those of those who are in the prisons of this State, and who filled the entrance with papers, propaganda vindicating us, even the most filthy gendarme knew that we are not alone.
We are part of that incendiary joy of the youth when the glass breaks and the fuse lights the gas in the police cars on that morning in Providencia outside the José Victorino Lastarria High School, that fire that in the young people is a cry of war, revenge and lifelong experince. Grateful for the real affection of our people, that concern for our lives, compañeros, compañeras, siblings, relatives and loved ones who have never killed us. That genuine love embraces us in these moments. They show it every day in their concern and their desire to steal more than a smile from us in such a defining moment, and they undoubtedly achieve it completely. A hug to those who remember us and seek ways to be with us…
Aldo and Lucas from “La Gonzalina” and “Santiago Uno”.
End of July 2025.

Chile: Brotherly Words from Prison, Before the Trial Against Aldo and Lucas Hernández
(Chile) Brotherly words from prison, before the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández
Words by Francisco Solar
To greet comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez in this difficult stage of the trial against them is, once again, to validate the insurrectional action. It is to support and understand the necessity of the forceful action for which Aldo is accused. An action that, by the way, shook the daily life inside this prison. An action that, like few others, made solidarity be felt in all its breadth.
The judicial spectacle is prepared, the anti-anarchist Prosecutor already has all his cards ready to return to condemn anarchists of action to harsh sentences, however, in the face of this adverse panorama, they will find themselves with dignified and whole comrades assumed in a life of combat as they have well demonstrated during these years of confinement. Aldo’s situation has been complicated by being classified and locked up, these last months, in a maximum security module where it is not clear when he will be able to get out.
All the strength for Aldo and Lucas with the certainty that no sentence is eternal and knowing that every action is worth it.
Aldo and Lucas to the streets!
Let the prisons explode!

Words by Joaquín García
Before the beginning of the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas;
In the next few days a new theater of Power will begin: two comrades will begin the final stage of the judicial inquisition, the last media feast; after this, nothing is public….
I know, it is clear to me, that they will face this stage with all the solidity that characterizes them, firm in their convictions, as they have shown in and out of jail, in word and action.
In times when news, ideas and initiatives seem to have a superfluous, instantaneous and innocuous character, you have given a lesson of fortitude and antagonistic solidarity, you are and have been truly comrades to count on, who could doubt your commitment? How many others have put their will at the disposal of solidarity? Or of vengeance?
They are exceptional compañeros! And that is a treasure that will always accompany them.

Words of Juan Aliste
I write from real affection, outside of the slogan, since your actions are in themselves an account of your imprint as comrades in solidarity and anarchists of action.
There where you crossed the bridge of no return of subversion, fusing thought/reflection with action. In this walk, hearts meet in an untamed beat of complicity and complicity that is proof against walls, oppression and death.
I know they have the pulse of the enemy they face, I reaffirm and salute their strength and integrity in this situation of juridical shit.
Today it is your turn to continue being what you are with the brightness of your antagonistic look, the tenderness towards your own and the fertile fist of resistance.
Brothers, with conviction and fighters who will know how to sustain the political tuck-in of those who hold power!
May this unwanted transit through prison and the dictates of the mercenaries of power not cloud for a second the conviction of their lives.
The complicit embrace reaffirms that neither walls, oppression or death reach the fiber of our hearts?
Memory, resistance and subversion!

IN THE FACE OF THE TRIAL OF ALDO AND LUCAS HERNÁNDEZ WORDS OF INSURRECTIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE KOMPAÑERXS.
Always on the side of those who fight against Power and all Authority.
Solidarity among Insurrectionists is komplicity in the daily struggle for the total destruction of the prison society.
Solidarity among anti-authoritarians is the sharing of ideas and practices that have been maintained over time in this long march of Offensive Resistance for Total Liberation and that legitimize self-defense as essential in this winding road of struggle for the total transformation of the reality in which we live and resist without anything stopping us.
Aldo and Lucas Hernandez will be judged and condemned by the democratic inkisition of capital. Beyond the facts that they are accused of here what is intended to be judged is the black thread of anarkia. It is the thought and the subversive praxis of an antiauthoritarian konvixion that does not stop, that is still alive and surely nothing and nobody will ever be able to extinguish it.
A strong cry of call for Active Solidarity and Insurrectionary Complicity with the comrades Aldo and Lucas!!!Make ideas a real threat!
Aldo and Lucas Hernandez to the street!
As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!!!

La Gonzalina Rancagua Prison
Words by Tomás González
Prison is a sub-world where many get lost, but this is only the consequence of our actions. It is important to have the clear notion that once you have taken the path there is no turning back. Here we do not play at being a revolutionary, here our lives go happily as we give ourselves body and soul to strike against the tyrannical and oppressive enemy of our people and popular people. Prison is only a method and silent tool of the state to break the will of the people, but the conscience is never silent and that keeps us unbreakable in the face of any attempt of the miserable gears of this oppressive force. In this intramural walk where many looks have been almost a home based on the complicity and unique spark that scream freedom, I have met some beautiful comrades among them Lucas and Aldo who are about to face another process within a larger one, they keep their heads up ready to continue opening the way as many of us who remain prisoners making these filthy walls one more trench of war and thus move forward without stopping.
I want to leave these brief words as a way of complicity with all the prisoners and their families who resist inside and outside the prisons, to all the subversive comrades, anarchists, nihilists and rebels.
No dungeon, nor any of its guards will be able to put an end to our spirit that spreads like water in its channel, nourishing life itself.
Our weapons thirsty for popular justice claim our hands to aim them and occupy them against the defenders of misery.
Aldo and Lucas to the streets.
Tomás González Quezada.
Subversive prisoner.
Ex-Penitentiary.
Words from José Cáceres
I would like to begin by greeting all the comrades deprived of liberty in the different prisons throughout the country, to all of them my warmest greetings along with my respect to each one of them for bearing with dignity the unworthy, cruel, unjust and increasingly barbaric prison system to which we have been unjustly subjected.
On repeated occasions we cry out for justice, indeed we demand it, but have we ever thought to whom we demand it?
Yes… no more and no less than to those who throughout time and history have committed the greatest atrocities, human massacres, extermination of peoples, coup d’états, wars, colonization of “savage” peoples to “civilize” them, all this to increase their economic and territorial power and thus be able to have control over the rest of the people. All these actions have their consequences thousands of dead, disappeared, irreparable damages to our nuke mapu and its mongüeil itrofil.
All this supported and endorsed by laws that the kapitalist system through its various faithful dogs, its governments and institutions leave it unpunished, letting it be seen in the light as an act done in the name of science, technology or in the name of god
The bases of this system will be in charge of sentencing our comrades Aldo and Lucas, those who know them can attest to the drive, courage, bravery and conviction of these comrades, qualities that lead them to be today facing unjust accusations, which in practice, if they are real, could only be called popular justice.
Compañeras and compañeros, difficult times are coming for Aldo and Lucas. The enemy is vengeful, we must not forget it, the territory they are going through is difficult, we must be more present than ever, especially in this coming stage.
Comrades Aldo and Lucas all my newen for you, a strong hug and a cordial greeting for your family and loved ones.
Let’s stop surviving and accept the challenge of living, living with all that it entails, there is no justice for the people unless we do it ourselves.
Against the tightening of prison control, solidarity and action!!!!
Freedom for Aldo and Lucas!!!
Freedom for Milan and Tomás PP 6 de Julio!!!!!
Freedom for all subversive, anarchist and mapuche political prisoners!!!!!
Compañera Luisa Toledo presente!
Compañera Herminia Concha presente!!!!

(Chile) Arson Attack on RED Bus in Solidarity with Anarchist Comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández
Attack on the Transantiago bus last Friday, June 20 in Conchalí in solidarity with the anarchist comrades Aldo and Lucas.
In the early hours of December 22, 2022, in an operation that was carried out in the metropolitan region and Valparaíso, different buildings were raided, resulting in 4 arrests. The order from the southern prosecutor’s office was to find and arrest the Anarchist comrade Aldo Hernández, who is accused as the alleged perpetrator of the attack on the national directorate of gendarmerie in December 2021. In these raids, the Anarchist comrade Lucas Hernández was also arrested.
More than 2 years after their arrest, the comrades are awaiting the trial against them, which will be on July 10 in the early hours of the morning.
Active solidarity.
Armed complicity.
Aldo and Lucas Hernandez to the streets!

(Chile) Update on Anarchist Comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández
It’s been more than two years since that 22nd of December in 2022, the day of various raids orchestrated by the Metropolitana Sur High Complexity Prosecutor. Six households were raided, five of these in the Metropolitan Region and one in the Valparaiso Region, all registered by police groups OS9, GOPE and LABOCAR, resulting in six arrests, four of which led to pre-trial prison. Two of these were brothers and comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández, who throughout the following months remained under investigation for the explosive attack on the National Police Headquarters of Chile. Aldo is accused of having placed the device, as well as facing violations of the Arms Control Law, and Lucas is also accused of various violations of the arms and explosives control Law.
Months later, the comrades were asked to attend a hearing to be re-formalized, and both were charged with the manufacture of weapons and explosive devices for various items found in the home raided in Pedro Aguirre Cerda.
In this process we have seen how the prosecution has used trickery and dirty games to attempt to harm and intimidate those surrounding the accused with imprisonment, seeking information and even denunciations in order to complete the investigation and to be able to prove their accusations. The result of the harassment has been negative, since all the detainees after the raids have remained dignified and trustworthy faced with the mediocre attempts of the Prosecutor Claudio Orellana, demonstrating complicity and loyalty to the principles of anti-authoritarian comradeship in practice.Across the months, the comrades have lived various and different realities of prison, since from the beginning they were separated, trying to break their family ties, depriving them from having contact and sharing the same physical space for more than two years.
Now the comrades await the preparation audience of the oral trial, which has already been postponed on two occasions for legal reasons. After awaiting trial for over two years, the comrades remain unable to reunite for reasons of security, violating their rights of conserving the family ties that bond them.
In this trial, they risk being given exemplary sentences; for Aldo the prosecution requests a 90 year sentence and for Lucas a 26 year sentence. We call these exemplary because this excessive quantity of years only aims to intimidate the environment and those who decide to return blow with blow without turning the other cheek, nor awaiting illusive and idealized opportune moments to go for our enemies. The comrades maintain intact their integrity and impetus to continue contributing to strengthening the anarchic path outside and within prison. They cling fiercely to their ideas and values, bringing along various comrades who have been deprived of their freedom just like they have, making their ideas a real threat for the range of nefarious conducts inside prison and practicing carceral solidarity, remaining strong against prison and its jailers within their own houses (prisons).
Power continues to deal blows; reprisals are part of the daily life/captivity of our brothers. The last update was Aldo’s transfer to unit 2 of maximum security in “La Gonzalina” prison, on December 24 of last year, changing the carceral regime for him. Currently he is being kept with a schedule of 21 hours of lockup and 3 hours on the range, this added to restrictions such as the prohibition of electronic apparatuses (TV, kettle and radio). This transfer resulted from a raid carried out in unit 12 (unit in which Aldo was held for 2 years) on December 18 during which the personal information of the 16 national police wounded in the attack on the headquarters carried out on December 27, 2021 was found inside Aldo’s cell. This information which was found contained in the respective investigative files of the case, was the motive for which the high authorities of La Gonzalina decided on his isolation.
Violentist practice is more valid than ever, and it is blood to pump the hearts of our brothers in prison. Each unerring action, propaganda gesture, reveals the vulnerability of a predatory system that sustains itself through a false security that’s no more than a mask that can be burnt off, in reach of our hands full of conviction and courage.
Actions such as attacks with arms-bombs on institutions-police-machines that protect the interests of power and the rich are only one demonstration of this, so that the fear is felt by those who capture us, the bullets have names and addresses. May our energies be capable of creating what our imagination once thought, so that each idea in the minds of those who see the violentist struggle as possible overflows.
Fire and death to the spectator, the scavenger, the martyr and the vulture.
Freedom for all those who remain convinced, true and courageous against domination!
Freedom for anarchist, subversive and mapuche prisoners!
We dare to create the forbidden!
Make ideas a real threat!
Freedom for Aldo and Lucas Hernández!

(Chile) Raids and Transfers. On the New Situation of Imprisoned Anarchist Aldo Hernández
After a raid on December 18 carried out by the Gendarmerie on module 12 of the La Gonzalina Rancagua Prison, the anarchist comrade Aldo Hernández had the investigative files of his case seized. The reason: the files contained the personal data of the gendarmes injured in the bomb attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate for which the comrade is accused, which occurred in December 2021.
On Tuesday, December 24, after the gendarmerie raided Aldo’s cell, he was transferred to maximum security module 2, where his television and kettle were confiscated. Let us remember that the anarchist comrade Francisco Solar has been in this group, specifically in module 1, for almost 4 years and continues to fight to get out of solitary confinement.
Therefore, due to the fact that he has the investigative files in the cell, which is a right of every accused, the Gendarmerie has locked Aldo in a maximum security module that includes 21 hours of confinement and various other restrictions, demonstrating the evident tightening of prison control in general and the cruelty against our anarchist comrades in particular. The fear and vulnerability of the prison institution is evident in these acts.
Let’s make ideas a real threat!
