Solidarity
Finally, Humberto Nilo Saavedra , Director and Academic of the
Arts School
of the University from Chile was virtually tossed of their
position for the
reactionary pinochetists sectors of the University. The
drop that filled
the glass was the exhibition of mailart "STOP: freedom,
diversity and pluralism"
in the Art Contemporary Museum of Santiago that
Humberto Nilo had
organized in order to defend of the persecutions that he
was supporting for
long years. It is symptomatic that Humberto Nilo has
already been expelled
of their class in the University under the
dictatorship of Pinochet.
Today, that Pinochet occupies a position of
senator during life,
his acolytes lift head and are collecting vengeance on
all those that, like
Humberto Nilo, had played a progressive paper in the
field of the culture
and has been opposed, always, to all form of
autoritarism and
vassalage in the teaching of the arts.
Humberto Nilo was, also, who showed, in 1996, in the Arts School,
the exhibition of
homage to the recently died Guillermo Deisler, another
pursued by the dictatorship
of Pinochet, also academic arts in the
University from Chile,
in Antofagasta, who should flee as quickly as
possible from Chile
with all their family to an uncertain destination under
the threat of death.
Those same dictatorial sectors are today expelling all
the professors and
professors that they have said NO to the brutality and
to the constant violation
of the human rights.
In the face of the fear that the menaces and the brutality of
the regime could
put the life of Humberto Nilo and his relatives in danger,
we want began
this world campaign requesting to all the mailartists and
networkers of the
whole world that to send expressions of support to their
postal address so
that, somehow, his offenders could not carry out their
threats:
