GOVERNMENT PALACE
OAXACA, OAXACA.
P R And S And NT E.
The communities and indigenous towns of Oaxaca and Mexico
have always lived in the forgetfulness, misery and marginalization, in
spite of it are the pillar of the Mexican Nation.
The governmental policies in the country and particularly in
Oaxaca have not hit favorably in the communities and on the contrary,
becomes serious the violence and criminalization against the
indigenous communities, organizations and people who organize
themselves to solve their necessities
independently.
One of the indigenous but repressed organizations in all Mexico
and particularly in Oaxaca is the Popular Indigenous Council of Oaxaca
“Ricardo Magón” Flowers; CIPO-RFM, against that has
been used paramilitary police of all type and. The balance from
the creation of this organization of
communities, 17 of November of 1997, have been:
517 detenidos/as and torturados/as; 103 incursions of the
army, police and paramilitary to the communities of the organization;
81 you order of apprehension by crimes
that they have not committed; 229 penal, civil,
mercantile processes, etc. against
agremiados/as; 37 threats of death to equal number
of its members; 27 assassinated and 263 lesionados/as of gravity
and, at the moment, one of its known members, Raul Gatica, practically
lives hidden by
attempts of murder that has suffered, in addition
Lagunilla and Morelos Yosonotu, San Isidro Aloapam and Sta. Ma.
Yaviche, an indetermine number of their settlers live displaced on
their community before the fear on being
assassinated or jailed by the only crime to organize
itself for the defense of its rights like towns.
The 29 of April of 1999 the CNDH emitted to recommendation 26/99
the government of the state. In June of the 2002, the CEDH
emitted number 15/2002 and in March of 2004 a plus. No of the
recommendations has been fulfilled. Still more, the CEDH has
proposed single in this year 4 conciliations to the CIPO-RFM with
the different police and 22 complaints still have the
CIPO-RFM to be solved where the violations to their rights like
community, organization and individuals are evident.
On the other hand, there are 52 interposed penal denunciations
against aggressors of the CIPO-RFM, in some cases are already ruined
you order of apprehension of the paramilitary ones but one does not
stop to them, on the contrary,
paramilitary they coexist with the police forces in the
communities of Tanetze, San Miguel Aloapam and Sta, Lucia Monteverde.
In spite of all these tests the authorities do not make anything
to guarantee the security of their citizens and on the contrary they
threaten repressing them if they show his inconformidad, by the
previous thing to you respectfully we let know:
a) That it is required of his intervention to guarantee
the application of
justice and guarantees for physical, psychological and
moral integrity of
the members of the CIPO-RFM, particularly of Raul
Gatica,
cancellation of the orders of apprehension of the common
and federal law against members
and representatives of this organization.
b) That is necessity to take care of the communitarian
reclamations of health, house, use, schools, food, ways, respect to
its mass media and projects like the transport, as well as to
elaborate a plan of
integral development with justice and dignity for the
integral natives of the CIPO-RFM instead of repressing them.
c) Which we are pending of the treatment and answer that they
give to the natives of the CIPO-RFM in the day of protests which they
initiate the month of July of the 2004, whose fundamental demands are
those of justice, solution to
agrarian conflicts, respect to its communitarian
projects: radio, transport type suburban and access to beaches
of Huatulco and Hidden Port, respect to the labor rights of the
democratic workers of the STSPEIDCEO, rejection to the transgénico
maize and respect to the autonomy of the communities.
Finally we want to express our but high indignation by the
aggression of which the natives of this organization have been object
then since they initiated its day of pacific manifestations in the
City of
Oaxaca this 14 of July, have damaged to them of the
following way: the 10 of July to 11 at night, were attacked
stabs and hurt of death Edgar Torija Perez, when it stuck posters in
Etla. The 11 of July priístas ones headed by Demetrio

armed incursionaron in the places “corral viejo”,
“ocote cuate”, “loma larga”
and “cantada”, in the zone of Morelos,
Lagunilla and Yucunicuca Yosonotu and they made firings to these 3
populations. In spite of even existing already a dead
today 17 of July the public security has not appeared to
reguardar to the population. But of everything, the night of day
16 happened of July, in the seat of the Dance of the city of Oaxaca,
that had been occupied pacifically by the CIPO-RFM and where the
police to the control of the Lieutenant
Jose M. Vera Saline and Brown Captain Rivas attacked
