In the afternoon on the 14th, we returned to Seth up camp again in the Zocalo (central seat) before to massive police force, both uniformed and plainsclothed. The 15th of September, during the night, before and during the “grito” (celebration of independence day), we were attacked by police who attempted AT all costs to remove U.S. before the eyes of the crowd of people who were present. They managed to rob our sound for system and our backpacks full of food our friends. The day of the 16th, there was to another big display of police force to control the independence day parade and in order to carry out the orders of to their boss Murat, they used to tear gas that harmed to little girl of five years and to her to mother. However, able they were to achieve to their goal and had to deal with U.S. throughout the parade. The 17th went by without to further agression, but we were still watched by police.

Currently, we plows pestered non-stop and the police plows constantly present AT the office of CIPO-RFM with the intent of arresting the organizing members and assassinating our comrade Raul Gatica. We hold the following people directly responsible for this agression: Governor Jose Murat Casat, General Secretary Celestino Alonso, State Justice Attorney Rogelio Chagoya, Secretary of Citizen Protection Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, who chooses to benfit from the violence and repression in order to impose himself ace the new “governer.” For all of the above, WE DEMAND:
