BREAKING NEWS - PRESS RELEASE FROM RAPA NUI
December 29, 2010

Today, December 29th just before 7 PM, a contingency of 200 armed police began violently dislodging the Rapanui Parliament from their headquarters in the center of the town of Hanga Roa, Rapa Nui.
The police have beaten dozens of Rapa Nui with clubs, including children and women.  They have arrested at least two dozen people.
This action was a unilateral decision made by the Regional Indendent, Raul Celis.  The operation was directed by the Police Commander,
Oscar Salazar who confirmed, "Celis gave the order."

Lola Tuki, who was there said that it was "unbelievable to see the degree of violence and inhuman treatment and prejudice.  The police were cursing at the women calling them, "Goddamn indian bitches", and grabbing them violently.

Many of the people taken from the Tuki and Hito clan were defending the President of the Rapa Nui Parliament, Leviante Araki.

This is a developing story.
