Last Friday Professor J got free on bail. Professor J had been imprisoned in South Africa on the basis of an international arrest warrant issued by the Chilean military justice after he had participated in the Anti-imperialist Camp in Assisi, Italy. The reason why Jaime got free is that the Chilean military justice was not able to present the documents demanded by the South African authorities in time. A new hearing will take place within a two-month period. According to his lawyer, Dr. Fulufhelo Ndou, an extradition of Jaime, who had offered resistance against the dictatorship of Pinochet, is very unlikely – also a partial success of the international solidarity campaign, which, nevertheless, has to go on.
