SOLIDARITY AND PRESS STATEMENTS ON OAXACA AND BRAD WILL'S DEATH
CALL TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS AND INDEPENDENT
JOURNALISTS EVERYWHERE ON EARTH TO SUPPORT THE
STRUGGLE IN OAXACA AND ALL OTHER RESISTANCE.
BY NEW YORK CITY - NYC - INDYMEDIA* - COMMUNIQUÉ
FROM MEXICAN INDEPENDENT MEDIA CONCERNING OAXACA
TO THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO:
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD:
TO THE MEDIA:
Mexico City, Saturday October 28th, 2006 - Those
of us from free and independent media we declare
ourselves energetically against the repression
that the government of Mexico is exerting against
the popular movement of Oaxaca.
ON THE 22ND OF MAY, 60 000 OAXACAN TEACHERS
PROTESTED in demand of better labor conditions
and initiated a long occupation of the downtown
of Oaxaca City. On the 14th of June, the
government of Ulises Ruiz ordered a violent and
failed evacuation against the magisterial
movement. In response, the Popular Assembly of
Towns of Oaxaca (APPO) was created on the 23rd of
June, composed of 350 social organizations in
support of the teacher's movement to demand an
end to the wave of murders of social fighters by
the government, as well as the exit of governor Ulises Ruiz.
SOME OF THE APPO'S ACTIONS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED IN
TAKEOVERS OF MASS MEDIA, such as radio
broadcasters and televisIon channel 9, to resist
the media lynching that has at all costs tried to
criminalize the movement. With the liberation of
these mass media outlets, the town of Oaxaca not
only created an instrument of popular information
but also an essential mechanism of coordination
and call to action to demand the removal of Ulises Ruiz.
In this social context, several independent
international and national media were present in
Oaxaca spreading the stories of the Oaxacan
people's struggle. Will Bradley Roland,
correspondent of New York City Indymedia, also arrived to the city of Oaxaca.
ON THE 27 OF OCTOBER, BRAD WAS COVERING THE
STRUGGLE AT THE BARRICADES WHEN HE WAS HIT BY THE
BULLETS OF THE GOVERNMENT PAID ASSASSINS.
In his commitment to document "the fights of
those who construct their true history" - our companion was killed.
On this day, at the barricades of Santa Maria and
San Bartolo Coyotepec, also assassinated by
firearm were Esteban Lopez Zurita, and professor
Emilio Alonso Fabian. Near 20 more people were
wounded by bullets, among them Oswaldo Ramirez,
of the newspaper Millenium. Since this popular
movement began, 14 people have been assassinated,
there is an indeterminate number of people
wounded, near 40 people detained and one person disappeared- Roberto Pablo.
WE HOLD THE TYRANT ULISES RUIZ, "GOVERNOR" OF
OAXACA, RESPONSIBLE, as well as Carlos Abascal,
Secretary of Government and Vicente Fox,
president of Mexico for the death of the fallen
comrade Brad and the thirteen others who have
died in this worthy fight. They died by the hands
of governmental repression against the people of
Oaxaca. Their deaths are part of the consequences
that the incursion of the federal forces in Oaxaca will bring.
AS A NETWORK FREE AND INDEPENDENT COMMUNICATION,
WE ENERGETICALLY CONDEMN THE REPRESSION OF STATE AND MAKE A CALL THAT:
1. For support on a local level for the
taking-over of mainstream radio and for the
collective construction of one's own means of information.
2. To make use on a national and international
level of the networks of free and independent
media and to spread the information that emanates from these.
3. At an international level to make an effective
presence in diplomatic seats and demand the
immediate departure of the tyrant URO and the
stop to the repression in Oaxaca, as well as the
departure of the military, PFP and the other repressive bodies of Oaxaca.
4. We call on the social journalists and
communicators to exert and to affirm their right
to freedom of the press, without any restriction
and to continue without fear their work of spreading the news.
We remind them of the meeting of free and
independent media this Sunday, the 29th of
October, at noon in the Chamber of Juárez in Mexico City.
The free and independent media is also the people
and at this moment the people need us to
accompany our brothers in struggle until obtaining the fall of Ulises Ruiz.
