I propose that WDDM support this Oaxaca democratic protest.
WDDM could be listed as a supporting organization,
However, we can not do that because we have no structure to solicitate a
vote of WDDM members.
I do not know if it would pass or fail, but it would be nice to know.
Thus our un-democratic WDDM continues on n n n n n n n n n

solicits the urgent intervention with respect to the violent evacuation of
the family members gathered in front of Cereso of Miahuatlán and against
the
arbitrary detentions which took place.
FACTS:
On Saturday, January 13th, families organized a peaceful march at 10am
from
the center of Miahuatlán to CERESO, the principal objective of the
mobilization was the immediate and unconditional liberation of all
political
prisoners, as well as the renunciation of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, which went on
without incidents. During the meeting of the families at the end of the
march, a corpulent individual with a military haircut, standing about 10
meters from the other participants, was filming with a homemade camera
while
talking on a cellular phone; this called the attention of the other
participants. After realizing that he was being observed, the individual
departed quickly, jumping over a meter high fence and heading to a path
which leads toward a set of houses.
Some participants followed him, yelling at him to stop and to identify
himself and explain his reasons for filming. After being asked these
questions, the individual began to run at full speed and entered a house,
which he was expelled from by the owners. At that moment, he pulled a
large
knife out from his clothing and attacked some of the people present who
fortunately managed to get out of the way. After realizing that he was
trapped, he turned himself in.
He was taken to the place that the meeting was going on and turned into
authorities of CERESO of Miahuatlán by official Reynaldo López.
Later, between 16:30 and 17:00, five people were detained. They were
intercepted while traveling aboard a truck to Oaxaca City. They were
among
women and children, who were threatened with incarceration if they opposed
the detentions. At that moment, only one name of the five detained was
documented: Jesús Villaseca Pérez, 19 years old, student at the UNAM
(Autonomous University of Mexico).
Later, at about 17:40, while family members were gathered outside the
prison
getting together to eat, seven white Miahuatlán police pick-up trucks
arrived with about 50 police, many of them wore ski masks and were all
armed
with long guns, like Goat horn, AK 47s. They violently got out of the
vehicles, yelling at the gathered family members, "Allright, sons of
bitches! Now we're gonna give it to you!" The policed proceeded with a
violent evacuation of the gathering, creating a climate of extreme panic.
Many of the family members were able to escape running, while some were
detained.
Due to the extreme violence of the forced evacuation, the family members
had
to urgently leave the gathering place, leaving all of their belongings
behind: credentials/identification, credit cards, press releases, cell
phones, etc.
At the moment, 17 family members, 3 men and 14 women, who were able to
escape the violent operative, are hiding and remain terrorized by the
presence of numerous police cruisers that are roaming the city. These
family
members have asked for accompaniment from the CCIODH (The International
Civil Commission for the Observation of Human Rights) due to fear of being
arrested.
At this time, the detention of seven people has been confirmed: Jesús
Villaseca Pérez, student at the UNAM; Miguel López Cruz, 28 years;
Vladimir
González Martínez; Rogelio García, José Poncia Neri; Amulfo Sequel
Velasquez; and Alberto Vásquez.
According to our information, all were transported to Oaxaca City, where
some will have their cases presented before the Attorney General of the
Republic, and others before the Public Ministry of the State of Oaxaca.
ANTECEDENTS:
On January 4, 2007, the gathered family members in Miahuatlán were
strongly
harassed. The families were notified through penal authorities, director
Juan Carreño and guard supervisor Raúl Ramírez, that the prisoners had a
message for them. They told their family members that they were being
strongly threatened by the other interns because of the presence of the
gathered families and organization of marches outside the prison. Later
that
day, family members received a call that they had to break up the
gathering
and leave, as 2 of the male prisoners were being threatened with death.
The
night of January 4 th, the guards did not lock the doors of the 2 cells of
those that had been threatened, increasing their fear of being attacked
during the night.
From the Limeddh, we emphasize that the above mentioned facts have no
justification and seem to correspond to acts of threat and harassment
against the family members caused by state authorities, in response to the
indifference of federal authorities.
We deduce that these acts are nothing but a reflection of the climate of
intolerance promoted by the Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.
We remind that it is a constitutional right of the family members to
gather,
and to organize meetings and marches, and that the security of all people
held in the prison is the responsibility of the penitentiary authorities.
For all of the above mentioned, the Limeddh solicits:
i. That all necessary measures be taken in order to ensure the
physical,
psychological, and legal security and integrity of the prisoners and the
families of the prisoners of the Miahuatlán prison, and of those detained
today.
ii. That the actions taken against the detained are officially stated by
the authorities.
iii. That the physical, psychological, and legal integrity of the
workers
of the Section 22 of the National Syndicate of Education Workers, members
of
the APPO, the students, members of civil society organizations, as well as
people in solidarity, be respected.
iv. Respect for the constitutional right of the family members to gather,
and to organize meetings and peaceful marches and that the security of all
people held in the prison is the responsibility of the penitentiary
authorities.
v. That the CNDH (National Human Rights Commission), with base in its
attributions and faculties, act in respect to the serious human rights
violations that transcend the scope of Oaxaca, and are of national and
international interest.
vi. In general, that the government conform its actions to those stated
in
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to the International Human
Rights Pacts and Conventions which have been signed by Mexico.
