The communities and indigenouss towns of Oaxaca and Mexico
have always lived in the forgetfulness, misery and marginalization, in
spite of it are the pillar of the Mexican Nation.
The governmental Politicall in pais and particularly in Oaxaca
have not hit favorably in the communities and on the contrary, becomes
serious the violence and criminalizacion against the indigenouss
communities, organizations and people who organize themselves to solve
their necessities
autonomamente.
One of the indigenouss but repressed organizations in all Mexico
and particularly in Oaxaca is Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca
“Ricardo Magon” Flowers; CIPO-RFM, against that has
been used to paramilitary policias of all type and. The balance
from the creation of this organizacion of
communities, 17 of November of 1997, have been:
517 detenidos/as and torturados/as; 103 incursions of I
exercise, policia and paramilitary to the communities of organizacion;
81 you order of apprehension by crimes
that they have not committed; 229 penal, civil,
mercantile processes, etc. against
agremiados/as; 37 threats of death to equal I
number of its members; 27 assassinated and 263 lesionados/as of
gravity and, at the moment, one of its known members, Raul Gatica,
lives practicamente hidden by
attempts of murder that has suffered, ademas Lagunilla
and Morelos Yosonotu, San Isidro Aloapam and Sta. Ma. Yaviche, I
number indetermine of its settlers live displaced on its community
before the fear of being
assassinated or jailed by the unico crime to organize
itself for the defense of its rights like towns.
The 29 of April of 1999 the CNDH emitio to recommendation 26/99
to the government of the state. In June of the 2002, the CEDH
emitio I number 15/2002 and in March of 2004 one but. No of the
recommendations has been fulfilled. Todavia but, the CEDH has
proposed single in this year 4 conciliations to the CIPO-RFM with
the different policias and todavia has the CIPO-RFM 22
complaints to be solved where the violations to their rights like
community are evident, organizacion and individuals.
On the other hand, there are 52 interposed penal denunciations
against aggressors of the CIPO-RFM, in some cases estan already ruined
you order of apprehension of the paramilitary ones but one does not
stop to them, on the contrary,
paramilitary they coexist with the police forces in the
communities of Tanetze, San Miguel Aloapam and Sta, Bright Monteverde.
In spite of all these tests the authorities do not make anything
to guarantee the security of their citizens and on the contrary they
threaten repressing them if they show its inconformidad, by the
previous thing to you respectfully we let know:
a) That it is required of its intervention to guarantee

justice and garantias for physical, psychological and moral
integrity of
the members of the CIPO-RFM, particularly of Raul
Gatica,

common and federal law against members
and representatives of this organizacion.
b) That is necessity to take care of the communitarian
reclamations of health, house, use, schools, food, ways, respect to
its mass media and projects like the transport, asi like elaborating a
plan of
integral development with justice and dignity for the
integral indigenouss of the CIPO-RFM instead of repressing them.
c) Which we are pending of the treatment and answer that they
give to the indigenouss of the CIPO-RFM in the day of protests which
they initiate the month of July of the 2004, whose fundamental demands
are those of justice, solution to
agrarian conflicts, respect to its communitarian
projects: radio, transport type suburban and access to beaches
