Those that we subscribed, ciudadanos/as of the Popular Front of Organizations of the Southeastern of Veracruz (FREPOSEV), we have knowledge by the testimony of indigenous of Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca “Ricardo Magon” Flowers; CIPO-RFM, of the multiple violations to the Human rights and the constant repression that undergo the indigenous members and communities of said organizacion.

We have of knowledge that to Raul Gatica integral Baptist of said organizacion, defender by but of 20 years of the rights of the indigenous towns, has been struck, persecuted, jailed, threatened of death and at the moment he has undergone attacks against its life, 30 of September of 2004. also we have understood that the Inter-American Commission of Human rights, CIDH, has dictated measures you will prevent in favor of this defender, and whom neither you nor the Mexican government as a whole they love to orchestrate them.

The 16 of October of 2003, paramilitary of the CROCUT and Tanetze de Zaragoza, commanded To stop Toimil Roberts and Jacobo Chavez, an atmosphere of fear and tension in the people entered the community of Santa Maria Yaviche, in the Juarez Mountain range, shooting without mercy against ninos, women, men and grandpas who were reunited in assembly, killing to Bartolome Chavez Rooms and hurting of gravity to nine but, having left.

The 24 of February of 2004 the paramilitary ones of the municipality of Santa Lucia Monteverde, Tlaxiaco, shot on a group of settlers of the community of Lagunilla, Yosonotu, who dirigian themselves to their workings of the field, killing to Eusebio Aparicio injured Garcia and of gravity to Juan appeared Mendoza.

All the prisoners were put under torture and degrading treatments. Detenidos/as is: Dolores Villalobos Cuamatzin, Daisy Garcia Garcia, Gumaro Lopez Alavez, Jose Cross Cross, Habacuc Cross Cross, Brown Miguel Cross, Leonor Lopez Alavez, Kalid Perez Gomez, Gildardo Perez Gomez, Abel Ramirez, Mauro Garcia Garcia, Guadalupe Garcia Garcia, Carmen Perez and Reynaldo Hernandez Fair. To all excessive guarantees paid attention to them, them dispersed without reason some in different jailes from state, have not had medica attention and to 4 of them them nego the right to guarantee, without but reason that to be considered dangerous for the society.
At the moment the five remain lengthy first and suffer I mistreat on the part of the directors of jailes.
The 17 of September of 2004, once jailed the representatives of the community of San Isidro Aloapam I authorize myself to paramilitary of Torch Farmer of San Miguel Aloapam the logging, contravening the law in the sense that where they exist agrarian conflicts did not authorize permissions.

Before such facts and recognizing the justeza of its demands, down signatory this very worried, because we cannot leave human rights them of Mexican brothers are pisoteados, reason why we requested to him:

· Freedom to the prisoners: Dolores Villalobos Cuamatzi, Daisy Garcia Garcia, Gumaro Lopez Alavez, Jose Cross Cross, Habacuc Cross Cross, Still like guarantees for the life Raul Gatica, love orchestrating measures you will prevent immediately.
· Punishment immediate to the material and intellectual authors of the aggressions of Santa Maria Yaviche, San Isidro Aloapam and Lagunilla, Yosonotu

· Solution to the agrarian conflicts of San Isidro Aloapan, Santa Catarina Yosonotu, Guadalupe Chindua, Cacalotepec and Plan de Zaragoza, and attention to the social demand presented/displayed by the integral communities of the CIPO-RFM

On the other hand, if the courts senalan that proximo governing serious Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, we summoned it to solve this subject of eminent politico slant and to repair the injustice committed by the preceding government and to send to a message to ciudadania of peace and concord that as much lack do in that sureno state.
Finally Mr. governor, we invited to him to retake I engage in a dialog as instrument to find solution to the right demands of the indigenous of the CIPO-RFM and to reject the state violence as it practices common to solve the social malaise.
Hoping its fast intervention to solve the conflicts, with justice for Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca “Ricardo Magon” Flowers;
