BECAUSE WE FOUGHT BY THE LIFE THE DEATH WATCHS TO US

To STATE MASS MEDIA, NATIONAL And INTERNATIONAL
To The ORGANIZATIONS OF Human rights
To The OPINION IT PUBLISHES
To THOSE WHO FIGHT BY La Paz.

Again, the members of Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca Ricardo Flowers Magon CIPO-RFM, we verified that the language with which the bad governors speak of Oaxaca is of lie, engano and death.
15 of October we yesterday denounced the arbitrary halting of four of our working comrades of the education that were stopped by the Federal Agency of Investigations AFI, sacandolos of its classrooms by the simple fact to protest against the corrupt directors of CONALEP 039.
The DAY OF TODAY 16 OCTOBER Of the 2003 to the 11:00 Hrs. paramilitary of Tanetze de Zaragoza to the control of Jacobo Chavez Tinder and To stop Toimil Roberts of the protected CROCUT of the governor of Oaxaca Jose Murat, they arrived at the community Santa Maria Yaviche, where our comrades made one reunion and while they shouted is going away them to load the chingada one to walk of rebels and being of the CIPO shot against of ours companeros/as with arms of exclusive use of I exercise, from the hurt aggression I am a dead person and 9 of bullet, 4 of them of gravity.
At the moment the climate that prevails is of fear and sinks because the paramilitary ones Continuing shooting to the houses and approximately 50 paramilitary ones have blocked the entrances of the population.
We have reported to the Governor of the State and to the Secretary of Government, to the one of citizen protection and to the one of health, but they have not done anything and they have not even sent security for the zone, although I inquire to them from the 12 into the day.
This situation this related the climate of aggressions yet that we are suffering like organizacion and that have the following ones.

ANTECEDENTS

From January of the 2002, the government of the state had the idea to strike the community of Santa Maria Yaviche to have declared autonomous and to be constructing his process in via of the facts.
First in acting they were the federal deputy, now secretary of indigenous subjects of state government CANDIDO COHETO MARTINEZ, local deputy JOSE MANUEL MENDOZA MIGUEL Still as the delegate of government of the North mountain range all of them in conspiracy with this paramilitary group kidnap and torture the 1 of January of 2002 to 46 brothers of the communities of the Reformation, Yagallo and Yaviche, when they journeyed in a communal way. For this the torturadores counted on the complacencia of the state government, where Erik Heras general Visitador procuraduria conceals to the paramilitary ones disappearing the declarations of our companeros.
Nevertheless, the diffusion of the case to national and international instances of human rights, the state commission of human rights of the state was forced to emit the recommendation I number 15/ 2002 by kidnapping and tortures same that until the moment procuraduria of justice of the state has not executed and that was guilty and that governor Jose Murat I leave today in freedom has massacreed our brothers.
Also the government of the state via procuraduria makes appear without I number of you order of arrest against the communitarian and representing authorities of the CIPO-RFM in the community. At the same time in the press they appear Newspaper Articles where the paramilitary groups threaten of death to our representatives and communities:
26 of February in an official document announce that Raul embarretado assassinated sera Gatica, hung and buried alive.
The 13 of June of the 2002 in daily the news Jacobo Chavez make clear that it is going to undertake violent actions against the CIPO-RFM and their communities.
7 of August of the 2002 in daily the news Jacobo Chavez announce that in the mountain range habra another Xochiltepec and that prepares the ambulances to carry to deads of the CIPO-RFM.
To stop Toimil Roberts, leader of the CROCUT senala that ended the CIPO-RFM and that is not scared to him to Raul Gatica. The day of today they have begun to fulfill its propositos as they are exposed in the following ones.

The community profit to stop to the paramilitary ones: Eustorgio Ruiz Tinder, Leobardo Chavez Chavez that would seran given to the ministerial authorities as soon as presents/displays the community.
