The Gómez Saragos brothers express their thanks and ask for continued support to win their freedom

Cintalapa, Chiapas, November 17, 2009
Amate # 14

First of all, we send warm greetings to all national and international organizations in hopes that you’re in good health in the company of your loved ones.

We’re sending this communiqué to let you know that we, Antonio and Jerónimo Gómez Saragos are prisoners in El Amate # 14 in Cintalapa, Chiapas, due to the fact that we belong to the organization of adherents to the Other Campaign of the EZLN and also because we defend our territory that the government wants to leave to the PRI. We don’t want them to take our land away from us because that’s where we work to support our children. That’s why we’re prisoners.

But we thank you for the valuable support you’ve given and continue to give to help us achieve our aims.

Comrades of different national and international organizations, we are eternally grateful for your valuable support in winning our immediate freedom since we are suffering in this prison where we’re being held unjustly, and so we now ask for your continued support along with that of our organization.

Respectfully yours,

Comrades held prisoner in Amate # 14, Cintalapa, Chiapas
C. Antonio Gómez Saragos and C. Jerónimo Gómez Saragos
