June 18, 2007 - Alianza MagonistaZapatista:
DENUNCIATION BY THE MAGONISTA-ZAPATISTA ALLIANCE
alianzamagonistazapatista@yahoo.com.mx

The members of the Magonista-Zapatista Alliance (AMZ) strongly denounce
the little dictator of Oaxaca Ulises Ruin Ortiz (URO).

Today at 4:00 in the afternoon, a heavily armed Oaxaca state police
commando unit, along with the police who have the town of Xanica under
siege, burst into the house of our indigenous comrade Cesar Luis Días like
a bolt from the blue and arrested him without a warrant, disregarding the
presence of his three small children.

Comrade Cesar is a member of the Committee for the Defense of Indigenous
Rights of Santiago Xanica (CODEDI), a council member of the APPO, one of
the founders of the AMZ (adherent to the Other Campaign) and member of the
Popular Anti-neoliberal Oaxacan Magonista Coordinating Body (COMPA). (en
español)

It’s important to mention that, in keeping with this outrageous assault,
on January 15, 2005, during the first month of URO’s regime, the same
police under his command arrested three members of the same organization,
Abraham García Vásquez, Juventino García Cruz, and Noel Garcia Cruz. After
more than two years, they have not been sentenced and the government has
not been able to prove their responsibility in any of the offenses with
which the tyrant of Oaxaca has charged them.

We hold Sergio García Cruz responsible for these acts of repression; he is
the municipal president imposed by URO and immediately responsible for
informing URO of the participation of our comrades in the mobilizations.

We demand that the Calderón government keep its hands off Oaxaca and that
the dictator URO resign.

Freedom for all political prisoners in Mexico

Without freedom there is no democracy.
