We demand the appearance of a living Carlos René Román Salazar!
To whom it may concern: We thank you in advance for the publication of this letter, which is directed to C. Felipe Calderón and Gabino Cué, President of Mexico and Governor of Oaxaca, respectively.
The organizations, unions, churches, academics, and people who have signed this document ask for your immediate intervention to achieve the appearance of a living professor Carlos René Román Salazar. He left his house in Villa Los Laureles in Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan in his gray Mazda-CX7 wagon, with license plates TWS4400. The last news of his was through a message, sent to one of his colleagues around 8:00 pm, March 14, 2011, which told of his location as he drove to a work meeting.
