Feb. 11th-Picket arrest of Machetero Leader
The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign We extend to you our cordial greetings from Mayaguez. We should not lose sight of the fact that the colonial police of Puerto Rico took part in the surveillance that was maintained against Avelino Gonzalez, and his eventual arrest. This is after all an election year, and our colonial governor is susceptible to the pressures of the F.B.I. and a Republican Party in the U.S. which despairs over the failures of its undemocratic efforts against "terrorism," the very thing that they're guilty of inflicting on the world.

The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign denounces this LATEST ATTACK on the Puerto Rican Independence Movement!!
Since the assassination of Filiberto Ojeda Rios in 2005, the FBI in Puerto Rico has harassed and assaulted various pro-Puerto Rican Independence activists in their witch hunt against Los Macheteros; a clandestine revolutionary independence organization Filiberto Ojeda Rio led.
In the past few months, LUIS FRATICELLI, the director of the FBI in Puerto Rico, has intensified these acts of repression by issuing Grand Jury subpoenas to three young Puerto Rican Activists in New York and Puerto Rico.
This past Thursday February 7th, the FBI in Puerto Rico arrested Avelino Gonzalez Claudio, anti-colonial combatant and Machetero, for his participation in the Wells Fargo Incident in the 1980s!!
The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign is calling on all supporters of Puerto Rican Independence to join us as we picket this latest attack on the Puerto Rican Independence movement!!
NO MORE PUERTO RICAN POLITICAL PRISONERS!!
FBI OUT OF PUERTO RICO!!Letter from Avelino's Defense Committee
As we have already denounced, Comrade Avelino Gonzalez Claudio was arrested by the F.B.I. today, and will be confronting charges which will be leveled against him outside of Puerto Rico.
Avelino was one of the comrades that the F.B.I. had been unable to capture during its repressive onslaught against our movement in 1985. That period saw the imprisonment of comrades like Papo Segarra Palmer, who spent 19 years of his life in U.S. prisons.
Avelino Gonzalez Claudio is a militant who has pursued the decolonization of Puerto Rico. He is not unlike those who continued the struggle of Filiberto Ojeda, those who confronted the U.S. navy in Vieques, or those of us who today resist the abuses of the F.B.I. in our country.
The comrades of the Frente Socialista, (Socialist Front) the Committee for Human Rights and La Nueva Escuela, (The New School) call for a demonstration in support of Avelino Gonzalez Claudio, on Monday February 11, 2008 at 3:00PM. At that time, a hearing will be taking place at the colonial "federal" court in San Juan to discuss the extradition of the comrade to the United States. We must demand that the comrade remain in Puerto Rico.
Dr. Michael Gonzalez-Cruz
