Volgens de laatste informatie lijkt het om een ordinaire moord te gaan en zijn er geen aanwijzingen dat de werkzaamheden die Sally in Oaxaca praktiseerde haar parte speelde.
Het lijkt erop dat haar moordenaar een bekende van haar was. Hij was voor een paar dagen in Oaxaca en toen hij gewond terugkeerde in Mexico-stad, vonden zijn vrienden zijn verklaring ongeloofwaardig. Hij probeerde ze wijs te maken dat een van zijn honden een kind gebeten zou hebben wat voor een rel gezorgd zou hebben. Vrienden van de moordenaar hebben contact opgenomen met activisten in Oaxaca-stad en zo zijn ze achter zijn leugen gekomen. Gezamenlijk hebben ze ervoor gezorgd dat hij gearresteerd is.

Het is natuurlijk maar de vraag of je de politie en justitie in Mexico moet geloven bij een dergelijke moord. De moordenaars van Brad Will zijn door hem zelf gefilmd vlak voor hij vermoord werd en tot op vandaag zitten ze niet vast.
Hieronder in het engels de oproep van allerlei groepen uit Oaxaca om de moord op te lossen.
Justice for our sister Marcella Sali Grace!

Justice for Sali / Justicia para Sali!
Oaxaca de Juarez, Oaxaca - Thursday, September 25
Brother and sisters,
Our hearts are full of sadness and rage because our sister Sali was brutally raped and murdered 20 minutes from San Jose del Pacifico and up to this moment the Oaxacan Attorney General’s Office, as is its custom, is not doing anything regarding the fact that there exist witnesses who have information to identify those responsible.
Marcella Sali Grace was born in the United States, with a big heart in solidarity with just causes. She had many friend because she was always inclined to help, using her artistic talents to paint a banner or a wall or dancing Arabic dance to raise funds for the struggle, or putting on punk shows, or giving self-defense courses to the women because she knew very well how the men accosted them. This was one of her struggles, that women were free and respected. Sali was so involved in the struggle that she was an international accompanier of brothers and sisters who felt harassed by the bad government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.
Unfortunately, on September 24, a woman’s body was found with the physical characteristics of Sali, in a deserted cabin twenty minutes from the village of San Jose del Pacifico and at the moment when a village member went to feed some dogs around that area, he was struck by a fetid odor coming from this cabin and notified the municipal authorities of the village, who proceeded to removed the body that was found which was already in a state of decay, and after these events, they did not give any more information to the people in the village.
Yesterday, companera Julieta Cruz (who knew Sali was headed for San Jose del Pacifico) was informed that a young, foreign woman was found in the Miahuatlan amphitheatre, where she went, and where she recognized the body of Sali because of the tattoos she had, as her face was unrecognizable. Julieta thinks it is because of burns, but it doesn’t explain why the rest of her body has less visible damage. When we asked for the case number we were denied as well from seeing the results of the autopsy, as they argued with us that because we weren’t relatives they couldn’t give us any information.
Due to her solidarity work with the popular struggle of the people of Oaxaca, in other struggles in the world and against the racism on Mexico’s border with the U.S., on different occasions and to different people, Sali mentioned that recently in Oaxaca she had suffered political persecution and surveillance. This makes us think that her cowardly murderer is related to the widespread repression against the social movement and directed particularly at international observers. Because of this, we don’t dismiss that the intellectual authors are the same who ordered the repression against the people of Oaxaca in their struggle for justice and freedom.
In the face of these bloody events, and for the brutal cruelty used against companera Sali, we don’t disregard that this could be a clear message directed at all the people of Oaxaca, as well as the companeros in solidarity from different parts of the world; we say this based on the recent national and international news which says that “APPO members were the ones who killed U.S. journalist Bradley Roland Will” and as there is no justice in Oaxaca, we worry that the distortion of information could interfere in procuring true justice for our companera and the clear bureaucratic slowness with which the involved authorities are already treating this investigation.
In the face of these lamentable events, WE DEMAND:
The immediate speeding up of the investigations.
The immediate clarification of the facts.
Punishment for the intellectual and material murderers.
Justice for our sister Marcella Sali Grace!
Enough is enough with of the murders, violence and hate against women who fight for justice!
We ask you to sign on (at the email indicated) to this demand for justice and to become a part of the urgent activities to demand the clarification of these cowardly acts.

Triest, diep triest...
Haar foto's zijn echt prachtig/krachtig.
Zonde dat zoiemand zoiets moet overkomen!
Haar foto's zullen altijd blijven voorbestaan, en de toevallige kijker zal waarschijnlijk niet vermoeden wat voor een verhaal er achter de foto's schuil gaat..
Een fotograaf is op deze wijze onsterfelijk.
Het werk, en daarmee hoe diegene naar het leven keek zal altijd blijven voortbestaan!

I WANT TO BE A WOMAN
And to not be afraid of being one
And not to be murdered for being one
I am a woman without being one
I am a woman when I hide
When I plan how to defend myself
I am a woman when they persecute me
I am a woman when they kill me
I am a woman when they rape me
For being a women they stare at and accost me
I am a woman without being one
I am a woman building
I am a woman and here I am
Ready for the war they've declared
I am a woman and that is my resistance
Because I did not wish to be born in this trench, but here I've found myself
I am a woman and I have another cause
Never on my knees
Never defeated
Giving live for this right, the natural right of being a woman
The hate planted in my being for not understanding the hate that persecutes me
Resisting woman
Fighting woman
Woman that keeps fighting
I've thrown every word in the trash that does not define me as I wish to define myself, every whisper that harasses me in the streets, every images that imposes itself on me and every duty they assign me. And in spite of having won, they keep killing me, keep accosting me...
Regardless I am ready...
I will not accept your war
I will not accept the terror you sow in my heart
I will not accept your violence
And I will not accept my own death
I remain with my FREEDOM, with my decision to keep being a woman and not to die for being one.
I am a woman and want to keep being a woman
I've died with each murdered woman,
And I've lived in each of them that live, in each of them that struggle.
I will continue being the carrier of live and if you turn around to see me,
I am your mother...

| | APPO student doodgeschoten | MM - 17.10.2008 14:25
Er lijkt weer een politieke moord in Oaxaca te zijn; een student is doodgeschoten die aan een aan de APPO gelieerde marxistische jeugdbeweging zat:
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2008/10/16/index.php?section=estados&article=045n2est
El dirigente de la Unión de la Juventud Revolucionaria de México-Frente Popular Revolucionario (que forma parte de la Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca), Juan Velásquez, rechazó que la víctima perteneciera a esa organización, como se difundió en medios locales, y llamó a la comunidad universitaria a cerrar filas contra todo acto de violencia provocado “por grupos esquiroles al servicio del gobierno del estado”, así como a denunciar a los grupos de porros que asaltan y golpean a estudiantes.
