Yet another case of the natives being removed by an off-site, non-native government, like the American Indians, original Hawaiians, original Rapa Nui, and now, this:

"The Chilean government continues to claim that they are enforcing the laws of the land, however, they themselves continue to violate the Chilean Constitution, Chilean local law, and international Law to which they are signatory, the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People.

The Chilean judge on the island, Judge Bernardo Torro, has a personal vendetta against the Rapanui and improperly signs arrest warrants against the Rapanui for trespassing on their own lands, without due process. Using state military forces to arrest individuals, they are also evicting entire families.

This obliterates the promises made by the Chilean government to hold meaningful discussion as to land title. Title has been and continues to be the underlying issue that must be resolved."
