We decided to go.

When we arrived alli we asked desperately if they habian taken or killed the senora Francisca, because it encontramos.eramos 17 women and alli were not 600 paramilitary of San Miguel aloapam and 5 policias of Oaxaca.

Then the paramilitary ones began to strike to the women peaky, shovels and machetes and threatened to us pistols. They said that if nonregresabamos to the town were going to us to kill and suplicamos we to them not to beat to us because we do not come with the intention to fight to us. What we want is that they do not reforest culture lands. We said that nonteniamos straight to defend lands because we are women and they said to us that the women are not worth anything.

Although we are familiar of them not us they can nor see. Although they were 5 preventive policias did not support to us, but they supported to the paramilitary ones.
