Comments on: Update on detained biologist Ramiro Aragon http://elenemigocomun.net/108/x/en/ The Common Enemy y Oaxaqueñ@ Solidarity Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:01:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Lynda Camburn http://elenemigocomun.net/108/x/en/#comment-479778 Lynda Camburn Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:50:13 +0000 http://elenemigocomun.net/108#comment-479778 While attempting to find a good local bird guide for Oaxacan state, I came across praises for Ramiro. After googling his name, I discovered the history of his arrest, torture and imprisonment. However, I cannot find any updates as to his well-being after the numerous 2006 postings. Could someone please email me as to his (hopefully healthy and stable) status? Thanks in advance. While attempting to find a good local bird guide for Oaxacan state, I came across praises for Ramiro.

I worked with Ramiro in Oaxaca and the US on bird research projects, also with Grupo Mesofilo. I know Ram is innocent of the charges, and it is deeply frustrating to know that he still waits in jail. As friends and colleagues of Ram here in the US, we too have started a fund for his family. Checks can be made out to "Ramiro Aragon Perez Fund" and sent to Bank of Petaluma, PO Box 100, Point Reyes Station, CA 94956. We have received a great deal of donations from fellow bilogists and friends, and recentl staged a benefit in Fairfax, CA which earned even more. Ramiro en el 1 de Octubre. Another benfit will take place Berkeley, CA, 19 Octubre at La Pena Centro de Cultura. Que liberan a Ramiro! Thank you for publishing this update.
