civilians

From: Karel Novotný
Dear all,
I want to express our solidarity with APC member in Mexico Rhizomatica,
and all other friends and partners in Mexican region of Oaxaca.
Oaxaca is experiencing extreme repression and violence by the government
against civilians. Peter and Erick, let us know if APC can help in this
situation in any way!
Below is an alert by Mexican civil society. Further down an appeal
issued yesterday by MayFirst. Please share as widely as possible. Thanks.

*Civil Society of Oaxaca emits humanitarian alert due to armed attack of
the State against civilians*
Today, June 19^th , we have been witnesses of the extremely violent
actions of the Mexican State repressing the teachers and the organized
civil society in resistance in different areas of the State of Oaxaca
including the Istmus of Tehuantepec, Nochixtlán and the city of Oaxaca.
As a result of the excessive use of force, at least six persons have
lost their lives and dozens have been injured and arrested. At this
moment there is no information about the whereabouts of the arrested
persons neither there is an exact total number of injured and killed
persons. Medical attention was not guaranteed and civil society had to
create points of emergency medical attention to injured persons without
being able to cope with the demand.
There are happening particularly violent actions in the city of Oaxaca
tonight. We have witnessed the arrival of a large number of airplanes of
the Federal Police and the Gendarmerie in the city throughout the day as
well as we witness that the tension is increasing every minute.
Full alert:

May First People Link denounces the assasination by Mexican Federal
Police of 8 people and striking teachers of Oaxaca and the arrests of
more than 40 people this morning at a protest in front of the
Representation of the State of Oaxaca in Mexico City.
Over a dozen members of free media collectives who were covering the
protest were also detained. These arrests are an attempt to silence the
freedom of expression of political dissidents and the free and alternate
media collectives whose factual reporting of the ongoing government
repression in Oaxaca is a threat to the official government narratives
channeled by mass media of the events that are unfolding in Mexico.
For more news and background about the events in Oaxaca see:
