Solidarity Without Borders

FROM COAST TO COAST, WE DEMAND AN END TO REPRESSION

In recent days, there has been an escalation of state repression in Oaxaca specifically directed at our companer@s in the APPO (Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca/Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca), CIPO-RFM (Consejo Indigena de Popular de Oaxaca-Ricardo Flores Magon/Council of Indigenous Peoples of Oaxaca) and other organizations of resistance.

The Mexican government is at it again. Police have killed 4 to 6 persons, 3 of them mafia execution-style. Another 20 persons sustained gunshot wounds.

Mexican Federal Preventive Police (PFP) and other units raided an occupied traditional Mayan religious temple turned tourist object on October 3rd, 2008. Reports indicate that 4 to 6 persons were killed and 20 persons sustained gunshot wounds. The village school was tear gassed. Enraged neighbors briefly captured 77 police officers using nothing but sticks and traditional machetes.

Marcella "Sali" Grace Eiler, a solidarity activist with the struggle in Oaxaca and Chiapas, was found dead last week in a deserted cabin twenty minutes from the village of San Jose del Pacifico, Oaxaca, Mexico. She was brutally raped and murdered.
