San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, January 3, 2008
Hours after their arrest, all the Oaxaca comrades were freed. This is the manifesto demanding their release:
Today around 1:00 pm there was a march in solidarity with the people of Palestine in the city of Oaxaca that ended with a demonstration at the U. S. Consulate across from the old Santo Domingo convent, where there a wedding of one of the city’s wealthiest families was going on. A detachment of municipal, state, and federal police appeared to repress the demonstration, and approximately 21 comrades were arrested from several different organizations and collectives participating in the social movement in Oaxaca and in the APPO and held in the San Bartolo Coyotepec prison.
The names of the arrested comrades are:
Ángel Luna Cosme, Gabriela de la Luz Jiménez, Ángel Bautista, Perla Yadira Santiago, Jorge Iván Reyes Martínez, Julio Hernández, Erick Margarito Santiago, Cesar Rogelio Carrillo, Gustavo García, José Luis Pérez Mendoza, Efraín López Vásquez, Jesús Hernández Delgado, Octavio Martínez Pacheco, Jaciel Sánchez, Andrés Ramírez, Mauricio Uribe y Humberto Robles Ríos, as well as two comrades from Chiapas, among others.
They belong to the following collectives:
Brigada Indígena, Dignidad rebelde, Todos somos presos, VOCAL, CASOTA, LA Voz del Zenzontle, some of which belong to the APPO.
As this outrageous incident shows, the non-governments of Ulises Ruíz Ortiz and Felipe Calderón, continue to intensify the repressive methods against organizations and the social movement in an effort to stop the people from reorganizing and becoming stronger and from exercising our legitimate right to freely demonstrate and express ourselves.
From the World Festival of Dignified Rage, we the undersigned demand the immediate freedom of the people arrested and all the political prisoners of Oaxaca, as well as an immediate end to the repression of the Oaxacan social movement.
Immediate unconditional freedom for all those arrested at the United States Consulate in Oaxaca!
Freedom for all political prisoners of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the world.
Stop Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people!
Stop the invasion of Gaza!
Israeli army out of Palestine!
5 hours after this communiqué was written and signed by the following collectives, organizations, and individuals, our comrades in Oaxaca were released, thanks to the mobilization of the people of Oaxaca, the support of the teachers, and the undersigned groups. Thanks to one and all.
