In relation to the emitted declaration of which two people are in jail of Yaviche, these I capture myself to them when it was the massacre and that at the dawn tonight gave them to the Agent in good physical state of the Ministry I publish assigned to the Mixed Court of First Instance of Ixtlan de Juarez, Francisco Fernando Rodriguez Lazcares, and who volume the declarations and to that interposed the demand to him against the aggressors.

At the moment the community of single Yaviche this being protected by 50 elements of the preventive police with patrols Not 942, 688, 770 and 722, because ministerial already the retirement because tapeworm that to rest because it is Friday and again the assassins follows hidden in the Mountain range the environs of the community, and in Taneteze becomes to listen by the loudspeaker to 9:00 hours of which continuous with the second phase of which reempezo the day of the government act then we do not even fear again yesterday and again for another massacre to this our community and of others as the case of San Isidro Aloapam like Yaviche, who to defend the forests, their territory, its uses and customs constantly this being threatened by paramilitary of San Miguel Aloapan, the case of Santa Cruz Huatulco to those who one stops to them constantly when they are put to sell treats in his own beaches and of demanding a piece of ground in where to live; to those of Hidden Port that to demand a democratization in the transport and a worthy work and all the communities, representatives of ours organizacion are persecuted, jailed and deads, Still the this latent threat to kill our companero Raul Gatica and of not releasing to Oliverio imprisoned Neri in Ixcotel, ademas, all this wave of violence against us is so that of general way we have rejected energicamente to the PRI and other parties in our State, to defend the Biodiversity, the Creole corn in the Forum of Cancun, and mainly to declare itself autonomous in several of our communities with which we are it constructing in via of the facts and mainly by the decision to associate to us pacificamente to solve our problems, that the government has not been able to solve.

Of everything what it has happened and it continues passing to ours organizacion, community and representatives, we demanded:
