About the print:

“On April 28th, the first day of National Strike, members of the Misak Indigenous community pulled down the statue of the spanish conqueror Sebastián de Belalcázar.

This act was explained by spokespersons as action in order to claim the historical memory of the Misak people and that of Cacique Petecuy, an indigenous leader murdered by Sebastián de Belalcázar, who on September 16th 2020 was subject to a symbolic trial by the Piurek community and found guilty of genocide, land grabbing and dispossesion among other crimes.

Yesterday, May 9th 2021, on the 12th day of national strike, a group of heavily armed civilians, under the protection of the National Police, fired against the Minga (indigenous cooperative unarmed group) wounding 8 members of the community and amongst them Daniela Soto, young indigenous leader who is in critical condition at the moment.

El 28 de abril, primer día del paro nacional, indígenas Misak derribaron la escultura del conquistador Sebastián de Belalcázar.

Este gesto, fue explicado por portavoces como una acción para reivindicar la memoria histórica del pueblo Misak y del cacique Petecuy asesinado por Sebastián de Belalcazar, a quien, el 16 de septiembre del 2020, en un juicio simbólico, la comunidad Piurek declaró culpable de genocidio, apropiación de tierras y despojo entre otros delitos.

Ayer, 9 de mayo de 2021, día 12 del paro nacional un grupo de civiles armados, protegidos por la policía nacional, dispararon contra la Minga e hirieron a 8 miembros de la Guardia indígena, entre ellos a Daniela Soto, que en estos momentos se encuentra en cuidados intensivos.”
