Jose Murat Casab

Those that we subscribed, ciudadanos/as of: ______________________________________, we have knowledge by the testimony of indigenouss 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 indigenouss 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 indigenouss 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. Ademas 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 town 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 Aparicio Mendoza.
The 14 of September of 2004 violently were evacuated of
pacificas proessays, jailing without crime some to 14 of their members,
among them 3 minors. 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, asi like garantias 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
· Dismantling of the paramilitary groups denounced in
different penal processes and application from the law To stop Toimil
Roberts and Jacobo Chavez by his responsabiliad in different ilicitos.
· Cancellation of the permission of logging illegally granted to
San Migue Aloapam and recognition of its agrarian rights to the
comuneros of San Isidro Aloapam
· 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 senor governor, we invited to him to retake I engage in
a dialog as instrument to find solution to the right demands of the
indigenouss 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;
Kindly
