2. From Narco News: "The End of Tolerance"

Oaxaca: The End of Tolerance
Why is this Repression Carried out Against the Popular Movement? And why Now?

By Luis Hernández Navarro
La Jornada

November 28, 2006

Oaxaca in 2006 is like Sonora in 1902. At the beginning of the 20th Century the government of Portifirio Diaz confronted the rebellion of the yaqui indigenous people and deported the first indigenous prisoners to the Yucatan, Jalisco, Tlaxcala and Veracruz. In the beginning of the 21st century, the administration of Vincente Fox is responding to the uprising in Oaxaca by sending the 141 detained persons to the prison of San Jose del Rincon in Nayarit.

Vincente Fox will end his six years in power with his hands full of blood. “The tolerance has run out” in Oaxaca, says General Ardelio Vargas, chief of the large force of the Federal Preventive Police (PFP), and one of the “heroes”, along with Admiral Wilfrido Robledo, of the repression in Atenco. It is their dogs that are in the street. They throw tear gas, violently beat people, arrest without warrants, invade houses without authorization, destroy property, occupy hospitals and clinics, interfere with the free movement of citizens and sexually violent women.

In the streets the youth are indiscriminately arrested for the sole crime of being young. The prisoners are mistreated, tortured and jailed alongside common criminals. Judicial defense lawyers and family members are not allowed to visit. And, just as with Porfirio Diaz, they are deported.

But the abuses that are carried out against the civilian population by the PFP are not limited to those which are directly committed. Members of the PFP also act as the protectors of the hit men who work in the service of Ulises Ruiz. These gunmen and police, dressed as civilians, travel the streets of Oaxaca City in vehicles with which they kidnap and disappear members of the APPO. These are the caravans of death. These men have been responsible for most of the 20 homicides perpetrated against APPO.

4. Shots fired at the College of Medecine and Surgery in Oaxaca

Attacks against members and sympathizers of the APPO intensify.

State terrorism is unleashed in Oaxaca. Students of the College of Medecine and Surgery of the Autonomous University Benito Juarez in Oaxaca were attacked, shot at and kidnapped by paramilitary groups that are currently operating throughout the city.

These students had just offered to hold a press conference in the college, located in front of the ex fountain of regions, when a truck passed at high speed shooting a number of times at them. In the conference, the young people were giving testimonies about the assassinations carried out near the installations by ministerial police during the violence on saturday, where 3 unidentified demonstrators were killed. Their bodies, according to witnesses, were disappeared.

One student was hit in the stomach with a bullet, and another compañero, ‘El Gato’ was detained during the incident.

Near the State Institute for Public Education in Oaxaca, three educational workers were detained by similar groups.
