In a small wooden house in the heart of the Nahuel Hue neighborhood, south of Bariloche, two plastic artists, Rocío Topetti and Natalia Gutiérrez, got to work to commemorate Rafael Nahuel, 6 years after his murder, on the 25th of November 2017 at Villa Mascardi.
The mural with the portrait of the young Mapuche was carried out in the house of his parents, Graciela Salvo and Alejandro Nahuel, at 200 Isla del Tigre Street. A sign at the entrance reads: “Neither forgetting nor forgiveness. Justice for Rafita.”
The anniversary date of the crime is doubly special since this November 29, The five albatrosses accused of Nahuel’s murder will say their final words and the Federal Oral Court of Roca will announce the verdict.
The parties’ sentencing requests differ drastically. The complaints demand life imprisonment for the five accused Albatrosses. The defenses of the federal force agents asked for acquittal. Meanwhile, the The prosecution asked the court for a sentence of 5 years in prison, which generated discomfort among Nahuel’s relatives and representatives of human rights organizations and Mapuche communities.
“We are remembering Rafita. It was a very hard trial for the family. because we traveled there (to Roca) when they (the albatrosses) did not show their faces and we had to see them via zoom. They talk about a confrontation and it was a lie. But we have a lot of faith that justice will be done,” Salvo said.
Orlando Carriqueo, werken of the Mapuche Tehuelche Coordinator of Río Negro, said that “It is a day of memory in search of truth and justice. “Sometimes that concept is not a reality, especially for indigenous people.”
