BROTHERS And SISTERS Of the CNIPraxedis G. Guerrero. Red Points, 1907. Oaxaca, Oax., November 25 of 2003 CENTER PAC?ICO. Respect has come our word yet from very far, from mounts them? and valleys where we resisted with dignity to the attempts of badly the government to disappear to us. We do not bring for you m?que a greeting and a hug of coraz?de the women, ni?/as, abuelitos/as and men who we are the skin and the bones of Popular the Ind?na Council of Oaxaca "Ricardo Mag Flowers? CIPO-RFM. We have come to run into his coraz? to look for its advice we have arrived. To his coraz?para that it listens what happens to us and to its advice so that acompa?y orients to us in the way. Then as est?sabedores you in Oaxaca we are suffering one of the hard times but of represi?y extermination of the towns and communities ind?nas, that is to say, badly the government of Jos?urat is not single against us because we remembered to them that the past 31 of May took place Massacre Fr the Water? Oaxaca, where 27 farmers died without to date is prisoner to the true guilty; the 17 of October of 2002 put prisoner, unjustly, to the brother Zapoteco Olivero Neri L?z, Secretary General of the union of workers of the state without another crime but that to fight by the defense and rights of formed into a guild his, something similar sucedi?on Carlos Manzo. He is very long to enumerate what this happening to us, because as many of you you know, because there are acompa?o to us in our communities, since we were born we have suffered persecuci? c?el, the torture and the murder by the simple crime to fight with dignity. Making accounts of the suffered thing in 6 a? of life hundreds of us they have gone to c?el, at least to 500 have issued the order to us to take hold us to put us to c?el, have tortured to us and assassinated to a dozen of representatives, invaded at least 10 communities and right now violence is on ours organizaci?la but it lasts that never. That way, accumulating the suffering m?visto we have: 1) the 18 of April of 1998, the state polic?federal and along with the ej?itos, stop us to 106 members, of which 76 were of 2 d? up to 6 months in c?el and 1, Ra?Gatica, missing and was tortured during 24 hours. By all these facts the CNDH had to emit recomendaci?26/99. 2) the 1 of January of 2002 municipal and paramilitary authorities of the CROCUT stops and tortures during 6 d? to 46 members of the CIPO-RFM of the communities of San Isidro the Reformation, Sta. Mar?Yaviche and Santiago Yagallo, in agreement prove recomendaci?15/2002 of the Comisi?Estatal of Human rights of Oaxaca. 3) the 11 of August of 2002, paramilitary municipal authorities, polic?preventiva and of Torch Farmer of San Miguel Aloapam hurts to the comuneros of San Isidro Aloapam, leaving to 36 wounded women and two lose to his you drink, adem? they kidnap and they jail to 5 comuneros. 4) the 15 of April of 2001, the 26 of February of 2002, the 21 of 2002 July, the 28 of 2002 July, the 4 of March of 2003, the 18 of 2003 July, the 19 of October of 2003, the 20 of November of 2003, among other dates, Ra?Gatica undergo aggressions, are harassed to him, are stopped and it is tried to assassinate it, as it consists in different presented/displayed denunciations from the Mexican authorities. 5) the 16 of October of 2003 in Sta. Maria Yaviche Ixtlan, Oaxaca, a massacre is committed when the community was reunited in assembly and like a 11 of ma?a approximately, 60 uniformed people, with long, short arms and machetes, at the control of Jacobo Ch?z, To stop Toimil, Equidel Ruiz, H?or Ch?z Mart?z, Filiberto Linen, Victorino Rooms Mart?z and Tomas Mart?z Ch?z arrived and shot against women, ni?/as, ancianos/as and all the reunited community, assassinating to Bartolom?alas Ch?z and hurting of gravity to Octavia Tinder, Sim?Illescas, Onofre Apple tree, Francisco Flowers and 5 but. In this act against the community, calls atenci?que the government, who sab?con anticipaci?de agresi? it did not make anything to avoid it; the set of legal irregularities committed by the Procuradur?de Justice of the State not to brief to Jacobo Ch?z and Cesar Toimil and, to date, not to have stopped to any of the assassins totally identified and, the worse thing, to leave in freedom to two of the aggressors who the own community stopped and we gave to the P?ico Ministry. All this leaves clearly as it is the complicity of the government with the paramilitary ones. The reasons whereupon have wanted to justify this violence against the communities and members of the CIPO-RFM have been centered in supposed?ercomunitarios conflicts, that although are truth have been created hist?cos problems, is undeniable that the governmental strategy has been the one to instigar them for his continuaci?y to promote aparici?de others, administr?olos to conserve the power, to use it against independent organizations and to prevent organizaci?aut?ma. That is to say, not will exists neither commitment to take measures that guarantees soluci?de bottom of conflicts existing, but that is insisted on the represi?institucional as it formulates it to take care of to us, so is the case of the communities of San Isidro Aloapam, Ixtlan, Oaxaca and Santa Catarina Yosonotu, Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, where the government far from respecting the legal resolutions protects to the invaders of earth and the assassins of our communities. By all this, we are asking for the CNI that decides concrete mechanisms and measures that: 1) it allows Us to obtain desaparici?de the paramilitary ones and the punishment to his you lead direct and intellectual, is guaranteed integrity f?ca of the inhabitants of the communities miembras of the CIPO-RFM and particularly to Ra?Gatica to that there are been trying to assassinate hardly in these d? happened. 2) Logren, helps or gives conditions to obtain are annulled you order of aprehensi?contra the members of the CIPO-RFM and it is left in freedom to Oliverio Neri L?z. 3) Garanticen the establishment of a table of di?go where all can be solved and each one of the communitarian demands of car?er social solicitd by a, adem?de that manages to construct to consensuadas solutions pac?cas and to the agrarian conflicts between San Miguel and San Isidro Aloapam and Nopalera and Sta. Catarina Yosonotu, because of not becoming new facts of blood can happen that no wishes. 4) Presionen to the federal and state instances of the executive authority and judicial, as?omo the organisms of Human rights, international nationals and so that they assume his responsibility to guarantee the right to the life, integrity f?ca and living peacefully to the communities, organizations and representatives ind?nas. With respect to the related thing to the fortification of the CNI, we have platicado that the best way to do it is: a) to prevent that the integral organizations of the CNI are exterminated by the governments, d?oles the endorsement and support pol?co whom they require, without scrimping efforts. b) Crear the regional or state, dot?olas organizativas instances of the CNI of a program espec?co that fortifies the general of the CNI and of a plan of concrete work that allows realizaci?de the prop?tos of the movement ind?na. c) Desarrollar permanent activities, nonsingle of conjuncture, that allow difusi?y promoci?del CNI in the communities and ample spaces of the society. d) rotating Hacer participaci?de the organizations and representatives of the CNI as much in the commissions as in the attendance to the national and international events, as a form to involve all and to cause that they feel his the project of the CNI. e) To develop to activities of interchange and acompa?iento in concrete activities between the organizations and communities that are part of the CNI, for example in capacitaci? traditional medicine, comercializaci? resistance forms pac?ca, etc. Kindly The organizing meeting of the CIPO-RFM " |
