MEXICO CITY - More than 250 federal police agents surrounded the offices of the Oaxaca state police force and seized its weapons Friday to determine whether any were used in shootings during six months of demonstrations in Oaxaca City, federal authorities said.
At least nine people have been killed in a conflict that dates back to May. Most were protesters who were shot by gangs of armed men, and activists blame local police for many of those shootings.
Around 200 people have been arrested in recent weeks in connection with sometimes violent demonstrations in which protesters took control of Oaxaca City, battled police, and torched vehicles and buildings.
On Friday, human rights groups and families of those detainees asked U.N officials to intervene, claiming some prisoners had been beaten, tortured and sexually abused.
They also argue there is no evidence that most of the prisoners committed any crimes and asked for U.N. officials to visit the prisons and pressure the Mexican government to guarantee the detainees their rights.
Federal and state officials deny the prisoners have been mistreated and say they are just upholding the law.
Protesters have demanded the resignation of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of thuggery and corruption. Ruiz denies those accusations. In October, more that 4,000 federal police swept into Oaxaca and pushed the protesters out of the city.
The wave of arrests has taken the sting out of the protests, which scared tourists away from the city and shattered the local economy.
During Friday's operation, federal agents also detained five employees of the Oaxaca state justice department who were using stolen automobiles, federal authorities said in a statement. In Mexico, members of police forces sometimes use recovered stolen cars until the owners are located.
The weapons seized Friday apparently will be returned if the state police are found to have the proper registration and permit documentation for them.

Waarom vervalsen internationale persburea´s als AP an ANP toch het nieuws over Oaxaca en Mexico?
Hier een mogelijke reden:
http://cxs2.info/w/index.php?title=Oaxaca_Mining
"...At least nine people have been killed..."
Dat aantal staat met de moord op APPO / UBVISORT / MULT leider Raúl Marcial Pérez van vandaag:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=es&ned=es_mx&ie=UTF-8&ncl=1152993287
=> ...Op zeker 16/17 doden aan APPO kant.
Dat is exclusief een aantal ongelukken in een periode dat ook in een auto van een paramilitair documenten van aanslagen op APPO werden gevonden (zo reed een auto met 4 APPO mensen een ravijn in en vonden allen de dood).
Dat is ook exclusief mogelijk 5 moorden tijdens de onlusten van 25 November, waarvan de lijken zouden zijn opgeruimd, maar ik in ieder geval de zware schoten van gehoord heb en een bleke getuige die mij nog wat info zou overhandigen, maar de laatste APPO was die ik rond het centrum zag.
Dat is ook exclusief de mogelijk ca. 100 verdwijningen die sommigen melden.
Hier een oude doden, vermisten, gevangenen etc. lijst. Zie datum; dat was een tijdje terug:
