COLLECTIF POUR L'AUTONOMIE DU PEUPLE MAPUCHE ( CAPMA ) * Le CAPMA est un collectif autonome qui s'oppose radicalement à l'impérialisme, au colonialisme, au capitalisme et condamne toute forme d'exploitation, de discrimination et de domination.
Patricia Troncoso, 39, has lost nearly 55 pounds since starting her hunger strike to demand better prison conditions for the activists convicted of violence in their fight to claim land. She also demands a new trial, which officials say is not legally possible.
Troncoso, imprisoned in 2002, is serving a 10-year sentence for participating in a group that set a fire on a farm claimed by Mapuche Indian activists who say the property belonged to their ancestors.
The prison service said Troncoso, who is not herself Mapuche, was transferred to a hospital in the southern city of Temuco.
On Jan. 3, a 22-year-old Mapuche student was killed in a clash with police after some 20 Indians invaded a farm and started a fire that destroyed some grass stored as feed for livestock.
President Michelle Bachelet on Friday appointed a commission, including three Cabinet members, to seek solutions to the conflict.
