OAXACA: URGENT CALL FOR ACTION (29.10.06)
OAXACA: URGENT CALL FOR ACTION (29.10.06)
In Oaxaca, Mexico, a wide social movement aiming at the resignation of governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz has been active for five months. Ruiz is responsible for murders, assaults, disappearances of people and wide corruption. Read more: www.narconews.com
In the last few days violence and repression in the city has escalated, and federal police troops have entered Oaxaca to evict demonstrators from the city center.
On Friday 27.10., two local teachers and an American IndyMedia-journalist Bradley Will were shot dead in broad daylight. The shooters, in civilian clothes, have been identified as local police, hired by Ulises Ruiz. Local authorities are trying to blame Will’s death on leftist activists.
During the previous months more than 15 people have been killed, many more detained, assaulted or disappeared. http://www.indymedia.org/es/index.shtml
DAY OF DEAD – INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR SOLIDARITY
To support the movement organize demonstrations in front of your local embassy.
This week’s Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Oct 31st – Nov. 2nd) people in Mexico will be celebrating one of the most important religious holidays of the year, the day of the dead. During this holiday people prepare altars to honor their loved ones who’ve passed away.
One idea would be to prepare a small altar with a picture of one of the murdered and take your altar to your embassy. All you need is a picture, some candles and maybe some flowers. Here you can find a picture of Brad: http://www.narconews.com/Issue43/articulo2223.html
Some ideas of what you can write on your sign or banner:
Fox:¡desaloje a Ulises, no al movimiento!
Fox: evict Ulises, not the movement!
¡Ya basta con la represión y violencia hacia los maestros en Oaxaca!
Enough with the repression and violence against teachers in Oaxaca!
¡Fuera Ulises maldito perro de Oaxaca! (This is a common writing on the walls of Oaxaca)
Damn dog Ulises out of Oaxaca!
We will write a proposal for a flyer and send it out later tonight.
¡Venceremos!
