Patricia Roxana Troncoso Robles (a.k.a. "La Chepa") at her house in Temuco. Patricia is a former Mapuche political prisoner. She was sentenced to 10 years of jail for having started a fire considered as an act of terrorism. Following the Anti-terrorist law, promulgated during the dictatorship government, the witnesses of the accusation were hooded and their voices were distorted. On 2007 she spent more than 100 days of hunger strike, asking for the release of all the Mapuche political prisoners, the demilitarization of the territory and the annulment of the Anti-terrorist law.
