Plan México moves forward

Soon after Felipe Calderón pointed out that in México ‘there is no dirty war,’ the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies met to approve generally the Reforma Judicial. This was done in the name of ‘combating delinquency,’ and will serve to legalize a police state – elements of which have already been imposed.

As part of the 2.300 delegates in the second Zapatista and indigenous community’s international reunion, which took place last July in Mexico, members of the wayuu community delivered a truly important message: Venezuelan indigenous community’s situation is very different than the declared by the government people in Caracas.

El Libertario talked about the experience with Jorge Montiel, member of the Maikiralasa’lii.

The situation in the state of Oaxaca remains a delicate one, now with emphasis on the community of San Isidro Aloapám, an Indigenous Zapoteco community of the northern mountain range of Oaxaca. Even though for years now, San Isidro has faced a strong agrarian conflict with the municipality of San Miguel Aloapám, this last 18th of June of this year the inhabitants of the San Isidro community continue to resist defending the forest in their region and the Mother Earth, in light of the discovery that the local authorities would begin their deforestation.

November 29, 2006, By ROCHELLE GAUSE

Running as fast as I can, surrounded by hundreds of others, I can hear screams behind me. Glancing back, through the darkness of night I can only differentiate between the masses running with me and the federal police by the light reflecting off their shields and face masks. They are still advancing. A hand pushes my left shoulder and I realize there are medics behind me trying to run from the police while carrying a man on a stretcher clasping a bloody cloth to his head. The medics are trying to reach the makeshift clinic that the movement set up in a building just a few feet ahead. I continue to run block after block as more people pour in from side streets. The police are obviously advancing on multiple streets simultaneously. Panic is starting to set in. Rushing through my mind are the stories I have listened too over an over in the past two weeks while interviewing those who have suffered human rights violations at the hands of the federal police; the stories of sexual assault, of beatings, of psychological torture, of death threats.
