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. karel ------------------------ *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.

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.
