(Chile) Subversive Comrade Tomás González Escapes from Ex Penitentiary

On February 25, 2026, former subversive prisoner Tomás González, along with another prisoner, escaped from the Ex penitentiary dressed as a prison guard. Comrade Tomás was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison (16 years for shooting at police officers to avoid arrest in May 2022) and 5 years (pending for possession of a Molotov cocktail).

Given the repressive cordons that are beginning to be drawn up inside and outside the prison, the call is to not provide any information useful to the repression. No collaboration is acceptable! No photos of our comrade, no information about his background or connections given to the police!

Long live our fugitive and escaped comrades! All our strength and solidarity to those who still resist in prison.

“I cherish every moment in which I can learn alongside my comrades from the experiences that different generations have shared, based on solidarity and humility. Nothing is over, because the task continues, always contributing in concrete ways. Those who live fighting walk, forging paths wherever they may be, and as autonomous and undocumented individuals, that is our horizon.”

Tomas González Quezada

Today in Labor History October 21, 1981: Kuwasi Balagoon was finally captured following a Brinks robbery. Balagoon had been a member of the Black Panther Party. While in prison, he became disillusioned with the Panthers, became an anarchist and joined the more militant Black Liberation Army. He escaped from prison twice. In 1979, while on the lam from his second prison escape, he helped to free political prisoner Assata Shakur, who fled to Cuba and who recently died their (2025). In 1986, he died in prison from AIDS. In 2019, PM Press released a collection of writings by and about Balagoon called, “Kuwasi Balagoon: A Soldier's Story.” And the prison abolitionist group, Black and Pink, which supports LGBTQ and HIV-positive prisoners, has, since 2020, run a "Kuwasi Balagoon award" for those living with HIV/AIDS.
