APPO comunique:Flavio Sosa's Arrest and the state's systematic cleansing of d social movement
APPO them against us. they have armies, repression, terror we have unity, organisation, solidarity and hope. Movilise!
At about 19:30 today, two APPO councillors from the Roma Neighbourhood were arrested. These are our compañero Flavio Sosa Villavicencio, one of the most visible councillors of the APPO and compañero Marcelino Coache. Both were in Mexico City, organising solidarity actions with the people of Oaxaca. They where arrested together with Flavio's brothers, Horacio and Ignacio Sosa Villavicencio.
They were arrested by the PFP when they were leaving a press conference held in the Social Communication Centre (CENCOS), where the APPO members had denounced the state of emergency in Oaxaca. Repression has spread towards the families of the APPO councillors, in the case of Flavio, another of his brothers Erick was arrested and moved to the high security prison in Tamaulipas.
These are the acts of persecution that the false government of Felipe Calderon unleashes against a social movement with legitimate demands. the first action of Felipe Calderon's government is the criminalisation of the social struggle.
We call to the Peoples of mexico, and the world, to hold actions at once in solidarity with APPO. We know that now the total extermination of this social movement from the south of mexico is a priority for both federal and national governments. A movement that has showed the world that unity is possible. We demand the immediate freedom of all of our political prisoners.

A las 19:30 hrs apróximadamente fueron detenidos dos Consejeros de la Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca en la Colonia Roma. Se trata del compañero Flavio Sosa Villavicencio, uno de los dirigentes más visibles de la APPO y el compañero Marcelino Coache. Ambos se encontraban en el Distrito Federal organizando las acciones de solidaridad con el pueblo de Oaxaca. Ellos fueron detenidos junto con los hermanos de Flavio, Horacio e Ignacio Sosa Villavicencio.
Saliendo de una conferencia de prensa en Centro de Comunicación Social (CENCOS), donde los miembros de la APPO denunciaban el estado de excepción que se vive en Oaxaca, fueron detenidos por la Policía Federal Preventiva. La represión se ha extendido hacia los familiares de los Consejeros de la APPO, en el caso de Flavio, otro de sus hermanos, Erick, fue detenido y trasladado a un penal de alta seguridad en Tamaulipas.
Estos son los actos de persecución que el gobierno espurio de Felipe Calderón desata contra un movimiento social con demandas legítimas. Criminalizar la lucha social es el primer acto de gobierno de Felipe Calderón.
Llamamos a los pueblos de México y el mundo a realizar en lo inmediato acciones de solidaridad con la APPO. Sabemos que hoy es prioridad para el gobierno federal y estatal el aniquilamiento total de este movimiento social en el sur de México. Un movimiento que le ha dado esperanza a los más pobres de la patria, que le ha mostrado al mundo que es posible la unidad. Exigimos la libertad inmediata de todos nuestros presos políticos.

23:43 It is reported that Flavio Sosa is being taken to La Palma by land.
23:43 A report confirms that troops have surrounded the encampment demanding an end to repression in Oaxaca set up outside the federal Senate
building in Mexico City. the encirclement is being carried out by Federal Investigation Agency (AFI) troops.
23:34 From the encampment outside the Senate, the compañer@s report that they are being surrounded by Federal Preventive Police (PFP) agents.
23:21 It’s reported that the three representatives of the Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca (APPO) have been taken to the La Palma Federal Readaptation Center without being processed previously.
23:15 Flavio Sosa is being taken from the Attorney General’s Office in Mexico City in a heavily armed AFI convoy to the Altiplano maximum security prison, formerly La Palma.
23:06 The encampment set up by the APPO and persons in solidarity with them in front of the federal Senate building are on maximum alert in the face of a possible incursion by the Federal Investigation Agency (AFI), Mexico’s federal judicial police. The encampment has been maintained to demand an end to repression in Oaxaca and the ouster of Ulises Ruiz, governor of the state of Oaxaca, whose regime is guilty of crimes against humanity.
22:38 It’s been confirmed on commercial television that three APPO representatives were arrested as they left a press conference at the National Center of Social Communication (CENCOS) in Colonia Roma: Flavio Sosa, Horacio Sosa and another person.

As the press conference ended, a team of agents from the Oaxaca state Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Preventive Police (PFP), served seven arrest warrants for Flavio Sosa and one for his brother Horacio. Charged with sedition and attacks on major thoroughfares, among other offenses, they were taken to the metropolitan PFP offices, located at the intersection of Cuitláhuac and Camarones avenues.

APPO Leader Flavio Sosa Arrested and Jailed
Arrested Along with Ignacio García and Marcelino Coache in Mexico City; Protests Announced in Oaxaca
By Juan Trujillo
The Other Journalism in Mexico City
December 5, 2006
Mexico City, December 4: According to various commerical media, Flavio Sosa, one of the most well-known leaders of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO, in its Spanish initials), was arrested Monday along with his brother Horacio, Ignacio García and Mareclino Coache for their supposed participation in “crimes” against the common good including robbery, attacks against transportation routes, sedition and inciting violence.
Flavio Sosa’s detention came in service of an arrest warrent for the following: robbery, damages, violent robbery, malicious destruction of property, destruction of property by arson, causing injury, kidnapping, and causing injury in the course of a kidnapping.
Horacio is accused of kidnapping, injuries caused in the course of kidnapping and robbery involving violence against individuals.
The other two APPO leaders who were detained, Ignacio García Maldonado and Marcelino Coache Verano, stayed in the local office of the Federal Attorney General (PGR), where they were beginning an investigation against the two for resisting arrest. The two did not have warrents for their arrest but, according to the PGR, they tried to assault the agents who were arresting their compañeros.
The agents made the arrests after the popular movement’s leaders finished a press conference and after a federal judge signed their respective arrest warrants.
After their detention, Flavio Sosa, his brother and the other compañeros appeared before the television cameras in the booking center for the headquarters of the Federal Attorney General (PGR) located in Azcapotzalco.
At this moment, 11:20 PM, a police operation is underway with the Federal Preventative Police (PFP) and the Federal Agency of Investigation (AFI) with help from the television media to transport the prisoners by land to the maximum security prison at Altiplano (formerly known as La Palma), located in Almoloya de Juárez in the state of Mexico.
The APPO leader has been a participant for several months in negotiations with the federal governmnet of Vicente Fox and was a protagonist of the clashes with federal forces that occured around the Autonomous University of Benito Juarez (UABJO) this past November 2 in which the APPO forced the withdrawel of the PFP in a military victory against the government agency.
Protests in Oaxaca
The spokesperson for the APPO, Florentino López, announced from hiding the start of a series of protests nationally and internationally to demand the liberation of these APPO leaders that were arrested Monday in Mexico City.
Interviewed by phone by Jorge Octavio of the daily El Universal, he announced that he was “sheltered” somewhere in Oaxaca for obvious security reasons.
Nevertheless, he said that the APPO would organize protests starting this Sunday, December 10. Florentino López accused Felipe Calderón’s government of acting with a “double face.” On one hand they announce the renewel of a dialogue, and on the other hand they are arresting movement leaders.
He pointed out that this could be seen as an act of betrayel and announced that the APPO wil maintain in contact with communications media through their web page www.asambleapopulardelospueblosdeoaxaca.com, as well as in telephone communication with reporters, just as they have been in contact up until now.
Brief History of Sosa’s Political Activism
During the 2000 elections, Flavio Sosa supported the then-candidate (and now ex-president) Vicente Fox through his organization Nueva Izquierda de Oaxaca (the New Left of Oaxaca). Sosa was an activist with the center-left Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) and the Popular Unity Party in Oaxaca. From that organization he worked on behalf of Hector Sanchez in the local 2004 elections, in which this candidate won more than 40,000 votes. In the same way, Sosa has been a leader of the Democratic Peasants Union (UCD), now integrated into the PRD, and obtained a federal delegation. Some time later he pursued the state leadership of this organization, which lead to a rupture between him and the UCD.
Flavio Sosa, as a member of the APPO, and from the beginning of the Oaxacan conflict in June of this year, has stood out as one of the most outstanding leaders of this popular movement. This past November 26, his office in the Oaxacan capital City was burned by paramilitaries and his brother Eric was detained and sent to a prison in Tamaulipas.
