hermanos/as: Dolores Villalobos Cuamatzin, Habacuc Cross Cross,
Jose Cross Cross, Gumaro Lopez Alavez, Reynaldo Fair Hernandez and
Margarita Garcia Garcia, who remain in the prisons of Etla, Ixcotel
and Miahuatlan respectively.
In summary, the activities made until today to obtain the
release of a prisoner estan:
The Long wait of the indigenous dignity stays forehead to the
palace of government of Oaxaca, where
we continued selling ours crafts and products of the
communities to collect resources of the guarantees. There are
representatives of 5 communities that are rotated every week. We
have prepared ourselves to resist long time, are not going to fold our
dignity.
From the 5 to the 18 of October they are are making the
information meetings and consults in each one of the integral
communities of organizacion, to think together that to do, to
distribute the works and to walk together. The communities
inform that the government this arriving with their different
dependencies and special envoys from the Secretary General of
Government, ASSPRO, SEDAF, State Institute of the Use, the IEEPO, to
offer resources, works, you laminate, cement, breadcrumbs then, in
exchange for which they let participate in the CIPO-RFM. Until
today the communities have fixed their firm position of not selling
the dignity and to fight by the freedom of our prisoners and the
punishment of quines they have repressed to us.
The 2 of October a commission of 50 is mobilized Youth of the communities, that along with other organizations make a march of level to zocalo of Oaxaca, demanding the freedom of the prisoners of the CIPO-RFM and solution to the demands of the communities. All the contingents participant in the march, of one or another form in their participation exigian to the government who stopped the repression against the CIPO and he was freed to the prisoners.
The 4 of October initiate the preparations for the accomplishment of a concert for the fight of the indigenous towns and by the freedom of the prisoners of the CIPO-RFM, that was made the 28 of October of 2004, from the 19 hrs., in the University Center Cultural CUC, Odontologia street # 35, col. Copilco-University, in the DF coordinated by the Movement by La Paz with Justice and Dignity. Tel: 5525-0990, 55119249, mail: porlapaz@laneta.apc.org the cost of the ticket is of $150,00 (one hundred fifty 00/100 pesos m/n)
That same day has the first interview with the Secretary of Interior and the one of Outer Relations to begin to see the application of the measures you will prevent, is no any agreement. We informed that the representative into the government of Oaxaca, Gloria of carmen Camacho says that he has not been notified, on the other hand the representative of Interior Ricardo Sepulveda, says that the government of Oaxaca does not want to assume his responsibility. We let them know that they are failing to fulfill an international disposition.
The 5 of October in an act of the Dalai Lama, made in the
museum of antropologia, the audience Towers Bidet, in the DF, the
brothers of the Movement by La Paz with Justice and Dignity and its
network of Youthpresented/displayed a poster with a virgin of
Guadalupe that cried and tapeworm of angels on their feet to
zapatistas and tapeworm like legend: autonomy for the indigenous
towns and in the other side, “no wants indios” to us;
FREEDOM To The PRISONERS Of the CIPO-RFM.
also posters were distributed where the freedom of prisoners
of the CIPO-RFM to the presents and in individual to Santiago Creel
and Xochitl Galvez is demanded, this completes said to not know what
happened in Oaxaca.
In the evening in the same day it is participated in reunion of the promoter to expose the problematic of the CIPO-RFM and to ask for the support to our fight. One remembers in same that the demand of the freedom of our prisoners is retaken like part of the agenda of the promoter, Still same that impels one reunion of coordination in Oaxaca. The commission of organizacion is committed to retake the case.
The 7 of October the report of the civil mission is given
IV visitaduria of the CNDH that assisted to Oaxaca from the 28 to the
30 of September. Where that settles down with all clarity the
organizations who attended could be aware of the serious violations to
the human rights that of course underwent evacuated of the pacificos
long waits and the prisoners.
The observations to the irregular performance the CNDH and
violatorias to their own regulation need. Also I ask for its
intervention so that all the prisoners were concentrated in a single
prison, Etla. In the same way we asked for measures you will
prevent for the representatives of the communities that are in long
wait.
The 8 of October, reunion with the Mexican government is made,
represented by the S.R.E. Secretary of Interior and the
government of the state of Oaxaca, does not arrive at any
agreement, but if the complacencia and agreement are expressed of open
way that the secretary of outer relations with the government of Jose
Murat has, when presenting/displaying offensive offers within the
framework of the exigency because they fulfill the measures you will
prevent dictated by the inter-American commission of Human rights,
CIDH.
For example they offer to put of escort armed to the members of
the ministerial policia, of the same police body that I identify
myself like the person in charge to want to assassinate it. They
offer to render to him I telephone cellular but that we pay the calls,
they offer reporting line with the director of previous inquiries of
Oaxaca, that is accused to be the one who has sent to the threats and
attempts of death; they offer that it is the justice of Oaxaca
that it investigates and pursuit to the penal processes against that
is had senalados like the people in charge of the aggressions, that is
to say, that act the justice of Oaxaca against she herself, in
short, a series of aberrations.
They refuse for example a:
a) that names a special public prosecutor proposed by the
CIPO-RFM, that is the federal justice the one that participates in the
investigations, or that exist other eyes that watch the processes,
because many of them take years without they advance, to weigh that
the own government recognizes at least 5 processes where denounces the
attempts of murder to Raul Gatica
b) That one radio of short wave with capacity settles to communicate of any part of the state and the cellular one for when this in other states or zones where the senal without problem can be taken hold some.
c) To that organizacion selects to the elements of security for the care of the premises of the CIPO-RFM, or which is qualified to members of the CIPO to fulfill that paper.
On the other hand, that same day they suspend the right to
visit to our prisoners in the three penitentiaries of Oaxaca,
particularly to Brown Miguel Cross that suffers of a disease of
estomago of high risk and that requires medicines, same that do not
let to him pass to be practicamente isolated.
That same day companeras of the University autonomous de Oaxaca,
they attend to leave to notes for the companero Reynaldo Hernandez
Fair, that from jail continues attending its studies, also to make
the distribution of informative Leaflets in the university.
The 9 of October leave Brown Miguel Cross because its
state I criticize of health ameritaba and because the payment of $ 45
is completed, 000,00 (forty and five thousand pesos of guarantee) with
the donations that friends do of the DF, Michoacan, Oaxaca, Espana,
Germany, Sweden, Guadalajara, among others.
The same day is participated in the State Assembly of the
Teaching in Oaxaca that decides that the Magisterial Commission of DH
of the teaching and the secretary of juridicos subjects see the
mechanisms necessary to guarantee the life of Raul Gatica, presses to
obtain the freedom of our imprisoned companeros. Also I inquire
on the facts that provoked day 30 of September in the City of Mexico
which they tried to assassinate to the companero Gatica and the
companero Pedro Baptist. In that sense profit that the Assembly
decided a very precise task for such effect.
The 10 of October we attended the Representative National
Assembly of the National Coordinator of Workers of the Education,
CNTE, in the city of Mexico D.F., distribute posters and we give
information, in the end the teachers committed themselves to spread
the problematic and to retake the fight by the freedom of our
prisoners.
That same day in the state of Puebla I am made a forum on
like rescuing our Creole corn summoned by the UNITONA. Our
companero Pedro Baptist conto to our brothers the experience in our
communities. Between the present communities and organizations
we took agreements for the defense from our corn. In this forum
it leaves a message which expresses the inconformidad of the indigenous
communities (Nauzontla, Tlatlauquitepec, Tepetzintla, Ahuacatlan,
Huehuetla, Chignautla, Olintla, Ixtepec, Tepangode Rodriguez,
Hueytlalpan and Ahuacatlan Puebla/organizaciones) by the repressive
attitude of the authorities of Oaxaca which they evacuated the 14 of
September indigenous of the CIPO-RFM and maintain prisoners to to 6
todavia.
11de October we attended reunion with the graduate of DH of the
University of the City of Mexico, where they give us of solidarity $
802,00 (eight hundred two pesos 00/100 M.N.). Concrete
activities remember support for the freedom of the prisoners.
The 12 of October Carmen Lopez Perez, express and Refuge Gregorio Baptist, president of the cooperative of indigenous women are invited to reunion National of rural women, in Oaxtepec Morelos, where they distribute to posters and pamphlets and they ask for solidarity for the liberation of los/as prisoners/as. Its outstanding participation causes that hundreds of organizations show the support to the fight of the CIPO-RFM and that in the final declaration of day 16 of October one of the decisive ones expresses: “ WE DEMANDED The FULFILLMENT IN The AGREEMENTS OF SAN ANDReS And WE ADDED OURSELVES To The DEMANDS OF JUSTICE, FREEDOM FOR The PRISONERS And STOPS To the HARASSMENT OF The WOMEN And MEN Of POPULAR The indigenous ADVICE OF OAXACA “RICARDO MAGoN” FLOWERS;, they sign the convoking ones to the event: National network of Promoters and Rural Advisers, House of the Castilian Woman Rosary, Coordinator of Organizations of Women by a feminista millenium, Coordinating National of indigenous Women, Group of Women of San Cristobal of the Houses, A.C., Women of the National Alliance of Farming and Fishing Producers, Women of the State Coordinator of Producers of Cafe, of the state of Oaxaca, Network I generate and economia, National Network of Rurares Women, Integral Services to Enterprising Women

The same day reunion of organisms of Human rights
is participated in one to national level where we exposed the cases of
repression which we are suffering and we asked for the support to
spread and to press the government of Oaxaca of which it releases to
our prisoners.
Also I visit myself the Senate of the republica so that the
commission of indigenous subjects put as agreement point to ask for the
government of Oaxaca stops to the repression and freedom to the
indigenous prisoners. The same with camara of deputies.
At the same time, workers of the democratica current of the
three powers make one kermes informing and collecting resources for
the guarantee.
So far they have themselves decided to make of gradual way the
following activities:
· to transfer the life of our communities to the long wait, in
front of the government palace, so that all see like is our life, Still
that soon we will have our accompanied us chivos, marranitos, hens,
donkeys and guajolotes in the protest to obtain the freedom of ours
prisoners/as
· We will follow with the sale of huipiles, eggs of farm,
cafe, chocolate, honey, mass, totopos and other that takes place in
the communities, to continue joining a little money and to complete to
release to detenidas/os nuestras/os, all the products that are sold
are donated by the communities to maintain the fight by the freedom of
the prisoners.
We informed all this so that in the short while if they return
to us to accuse of abuses in sera property, stinking and other crimes
because we have traido our chivitos, donkeys, marranitos and hens, and
by that reason accused to us of violent and not by other things.
That is to say, our violence is to show the enormous difference
that are between the rich governors and industralists and the
conditions in which we survived in the communities, being
self-sufficient. We are going to bring to the eyes of the
tourists and citizens our communitarian life.
On the other hand, invited by brothers of Sherry, Espana, 2 men and 2 women of the CIPO-RFM, so that they denounce by all Europe which happens in the state of Oaxaca, they gain the solidarity and support of the international community to the fight of the indigenous of the CIPO-RFM by as much repression which we suffered at hands of a repressive government like the one of Jose Murat and of that they try to impose like successor, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.
