To our representatives they struck them wildly and to one of
them, RAUL GATICA isolated it of all, took it to a place where it did
not watch anybody, so that the own assistant attorney general Frame
Tulio Lopez Escamilla tortured it. The same one I beat to him
with rifle in the back, the testiculos and legs so that it put me of
knees and asked pardon to him the government.
The judicial assistant attorney general and four policias that
removed it with unknown course and that Since I identify like

pendejo” Soon, they put a pistol to him in the head and

give water, foods them, nor either medica attention and RAUL GATICA
was missing approximately 10 hours, Since denunciaria the
clandestine existence of jail in the Airport of Oaxaca.

xs 8 meters, where had a total of 89 lengthy ones. During 2
days they did not let leave to the wounded to receive medica
attention. And RAuL GATICA could not leave medicamente nor be
taken care of during 29 days because the first day of its halting was
punished when making a meeting.

Although extra sabiamos which they were lengthy in the
Procuraduria de Justicia of the State, officially single they let see
them to us until the 5 of afternoon. All this time they had them
without giving them to eat neither to take water, nor to go to the
bano.
The testimonies of our brothers during the halting senala that
struck them in the ribs, put mouth down, taken from the neck and
beating to them against the floor of the tray of the cars, without
leaving they watched them at the face, and when they watched a little,
soon soon they struck them. All time they asked “donde
this to them lider, we walked it buscando”.
Leonor, Kalid, Jose and Gumaro took them in a same car and tell
that in the way they said to cracked Indians leg to them, larguense to
his puebo, do not have anything to do aca, must be in their town and
not disfiguring the city. Our sisters responded “indias
but with dignidad”
When they took to procuraduria under police fort defense to them
of men and policias women, all were ensanaron with the women - ninas
-, the policias said: “no costs nothing to us to violate
them because we like mujeres” and they began to clear the
trousers to him to Kalid and they broke the underclothes to him.
All accompanied of blows and I handle by the body.
The policias shouted to them: “Pobres chamacas
single obeys what Raul Gatica Bautista” commands to them;,
“El nomas commands and it does not do cosas”
“El does not give the face. If very brave one thinks
that of cara” “De this not escapa” and
going to Leonor Lopez Alavez “Tampoco the your and Chinese goes
away to escape in this occasion, because they are the Indians but
revoltosas”
When they arrived at procuraduria they isolated to the ninas
Leonor Lopez Alavez and Kalid Perez Gomez because they sang, to one in
the bathroom and another one in the cell. They ordered to them that
they undressed, and when not doing it they struck them. They
removed to Leonor and they remained striking to Kalid between 5 women
and a man. Single the pain shouts were listened to during 15
minutes.
Our hermanitas demanded that they said to them that crimes
accused them. Then the policias embosomed his to them
metralletas of threatening way. Incomunicadas had them from the
7 of the manana to the five of afternoon, also did not allow the
passage of medicos so that they saw his state of health. They
gave neither let them pass foods nor water and they either did not let
to them go to the bano.
When the golpeadores asked our struck sisters: because
they hate so much to us to all the policias, if we were not those that
we did this operative one? They answered: “no we
hated to you, sadness is that it gives us because your heart and mind
estan envenenados” “De nothing serves that you have
the same color that we if you serve to hurt to your hermanos”.
The policias are reian of our words.
To Reynaldo, Miguel, Gildardo, Dolores and Guadalupe took them
together. To Miguel and Reynaldo they demolished them and
Since they kicked them in the ground and Go up them the light
truck they hauled it of the hair, blows they raised them and as they
also do not cabian in the light truck blows accommodated them in the
tray of the car. To Miguel they took it with the knee in the
head. Before any reclamation they struck them. They put
mouth down and they did not let to them turn around the head so that
they did not see that beat to them, nevertheless our brothers in spite
of that watched them.
To Carmen, Abacuc, Margarita and Abel struck them with tolete in
the legs so that they left the blanket that sostenian like unica
defense. They raised them the light truck and they put the foot
to them in the chest so that they did not move. To Abacuc they
beat to him in the oidos ones and kicks they raised it the light
truck.
When arriving at procuraduria and they are Carmen Lopez Perez
with hemorrhage because of the blows, I ask for medica attention that
never they gave him. In all the cases the medico of the judicial
policia said that we do not have nothing, in spite of the evident
injuries that they presented/displayed our brothers.
Recommendation of the CEDH even exists on the matter.
To Daisy when they identified it they said: “vieja
jija of the chingada one, your you were the one that us wash you with
atole” Abacuc recibio blows when protesting by the
golpeteo. When they arrived at procuraduria to Carmen said to
him, “a to see outcry like hacias in zocalo. Right now we
are going to you to violate and to wash with water fria.
From this day the police has occupied the government palace and
this practicamente closed the step, to avoid that during the
independence shout acts of protest of the indigenous towns do not
become that always we have been excluded and now we are being
repressed.
Day 14 of September of the 2004, approximately to four afternoon
recibio a telefonica call where when answering they said to him the
person who was of guard: “digale to these children of its
chingada mother who now if the position chingada”
“al Gatica, now if not escapa” “pronto
sera the day of his muerte”
Day 15 of September approximately, to the 9 hours with 37
minutes, when integral of Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca
“Ricardo Magon” Flowers;, they carried out a meeting
in front of the palace of Government of Oaxaca, to demand the freedom
of its stopped companeros, again they were attacked and evacuated by
police bodies.
Day 15 of September of 2004 approximately between four and the
six afternoon were received four telefonicas calls, of which single
they answered one in that they said to him to the person in charge of
I telephone that if were to somebody of the organizing meeting of the
CIPO reason why asks to him that which was and answers: in order
to ask to them if them taste the evacuation. Now no longer it
waits for an evacuation or madrazos to them, which follows is the
death to all, mainly to puto of his lider Gatica.
The 15 of September from 2004 to 9:37 at night, were transferred
approximately 20 people dressed civilian in military appearance and
along with near 200 members of the special forces of the police of
ministerial state UPOE and, civilian and black dresses, first
surrounded the long wait and soon with all violence they returned to
evacuate to us of zocalo of the city where governor Jose Murat (PRI
member responsible for the repression) dara the shout of independence
of Mexico in hours but.
During the evacuation to Elizabeth Perez Cross, member of the
organizing meeting was threatened publicamente by Aristeo Lopez
Martinez, head of the banking police that said to him:
“te is going to load the chingada one but to rato”
“a you we are not going to you to stop, but to
desaparecer”
Day 16 of September of the 2004, to 9:30 of the manana attacking
military they throw lacrimogeno gas to a girl of San Isidro Aloapam
and to its breast. They strike the demonstrators rob the horns,
the blankets and throw the things to us to eat that they tenian and
they return them to evacuate with violence. During the beatings
to the demonstrators of the CIPO-RFM, Aristeo Lopez Martinez when
seeing that Elizabeth Perez Cross this helping the people who were
affected with lacrimogenos gases, shouts to him in front of all, to
the time that senalaba with the finger in pistol form:
“mocosa daughter of your puta mother already you were
worth madre”, I rush myself immediately against her, with
the intention to want to clear camara to him to film and I strike it
in the forehead doing it to fall and Since I drag it, the
intervention of Alfonso Perez, avoid that they took it.
That same 16 of September but being approximately to the 10 of
the manana 2 motorcyclists and one patrol of preventive policias
stopped to Robert integral Hernandez Fair del CIPO, between the
streets of Morelos and Crespo, in the city of Oaxaca. The
halting did when repartia flying demanding the freedom of their
imprisoned companeros. In the halting they gave him of kicks and
they cleared the blankets to him and flags of the CIPO saying to him
deals to your leaders who are going away to die all, to Raul Gatica we
walked looking for and dile to it that this time does not escape.
The dawn of the 18 of September from 2004 to 2:10 of the manana
they arrived, by all sides, to the place where they were planted
pacificamente, approximately 100 policias dressed civilian in black
color, military court, boots, cover mouths and scarves in the face;
armed of rods, knives, striking the ground that until removed
sparks and shouting “Ya the position chingada”
“pinches Indian stinking we are going to them to break his
madre” “donde this the damned little mocosa of
camara and lider puto that tienen” and they beat to them
to all, cleared money, clothes, huaraches, blankets, blankets,
credentials and all their things to them. Lopez Branches were
wounded from this Jovita aggression and taken care of by the Red Cross
of Oaxaca.
It is possible to emphasize that the attacks have all the
characteristic of paramilitary and venian directed by those of always:
Jose Manuel Side Saline; Brown Manuel Rivas, Aristeo Lopez
Martinez.
We went to the Red Cross to be taken care of and to receive the
certainty of injuries but they did not want to give nothing to us, the
agent of the ministry I publish did not want to receive the demand.
The State Commission of Human rights at the moment that I listen
that it was the CIPO-RFM, said that their complaints are not recibian.
At the moment the members of the CIPO we are planted in the same
place of which we have been evacuated 7 times and we fear that they
return to do the same.
All these aggressions, threats and intimidations are related
to the work of defense of the human rights of the indigenous towns that
we do in the State of Oaxaca, which at the moment they are carrying
out and with it they affect interests of the government of the State
and casiquiles and paramilitary groups, that violate the human rights
of the indigenous towns in Oaxaca. By the same the State
Commission of Human rights act in complicity with the state
government, reason by which the same day of the aggression we made the
complaint before the national commission of human rights, same that
day 22 of September let us know telefonicamente that our complaint was
admitted day 14 of September of 2004 with I number of EXP. OF
COMPLAINT: 2004-2952-4 and taken care of by the Lic. Lourdes
Larrieta.
Since it is an increasing preoccupation in the international
community, the situation of the defenders of the human rights, as it
demonstrates the approval to it in 1999, by the UN, of the Declaration
when having of the individuals, the groups and the institutions to
promote the human rights and the fundamental liberties universally
recognized, Still as the designation in the last commission of human
rights of the UN of a special representative to watch and to know the
attacks defenders of the human rights, in Mexico this must be
fortified, for that reason we dare a
