Friday 20th March: Protest in Den Haag to free political pri
Kosiarz - 12.03.2009 19:37

Friday 20th March a protest demonstration will take place in Den Haag. We are going to protest against the Mexican authorities about the imprisonment of Abraham Ramírez Vásquez, Juventino and Noel García Cruz and to reclaim the immediate release of these political prisoners. At 1.00 PM we gather at the Koningin Juliana Plein (in front of Den Haag CS) to walk to the Mexican embassy at the Nassauplein 28.

Friday 20th March: Protest in Den Haag to free political prisoners in Mexico.

Friday 20th March a protest demonstration will take place in Den Haag. We are going to protest against the Mexican authorities about the imprisonment of Abraham Ramírez Vásquez, Juventino and Noel García Cruz and to reclaim the immediate release of these political prisoners. At 1.00 PM we gather at the Koningin Juliana Plein (in front of Den Haag CS) to walk to the Mexican embassy at the Nassauplein 28.

Since January 2005, 3 indigenous companeros from Santiago Xanica community
are detained because they oppose with popular self organization methods
against Neoliberal regime, which steal them their land and their freedom.

We: Nodo Solidale collective and Grassroots projects, answer to the call for international protest of Alianza Magonista Zapatista (AMZ) to support political prisoners from CODEDI (Defence Commitee for indigenous rights from Santiago Xanica's community, Mexico).

We think that prison is the maximal expression of state violence which impose exploitation and oppress who practice resistance, here and in Mexico.

The solidarity campaign will continue in the next weeks and we are inviting
students collectives and individuals to join the protest which will take place on 20th March
in Den Haag, Roma and Barcelona.

SOLIDARITY IS THE WEAPON - FREEDOM FOR ALL
------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRESS RELEASE from MAGONISTA ZAPATISTA ALLIANCE [05-02-2009]
Call for a action day for the political prisoners.

To the civil society organizations.
To the people of the world.
To the alternative media of dignified information.
To all solidar and good-hearted people.

On Saturday, January 31, at 6:00 p.m. a heavily armed commando unit of the
Oaxaca state police went into the San Pedro Pochutla prison and took our
indigenous comrade and political prisoner Abraham Ramírez Vásquez away in
a white van, with no license plates, to an unknown address.
Abraham and two other indigenous men, Juventino and Noel García Cruz, have
been held prisoner since January 15, 2005, under the direct orders of the
murderer Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (URO).
Our comrades’ crime was defending their forests and their traditional practices and customs.

For more than 4 years, the URO government has been unable to prove that they committed the crimes they are accused of, and accordingly, they have not been sentenced. Our comrades are members of the Committee for the Defense of Indigenous Rights (CODEDI) of Santiago Xanica, a member organization of the Magonista-Zapatista Alliance (AMZ), the Popular
Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO), and adherent to the Other Campaign.

It’s important to note that Abraham Ramírez is a man of deep libertarian and human convictions, which have motivated him more than once, even from inside the prison, to struggle against the prison authorities for prisoners’ rights.

During all these years, Abraham has stayed in contact and written letters encouraging the people of Oaxaca to resist and not to allow their dignity to be trampled on by the killer who misgoverns this state. Prison bars have not been able to silence his rebellious voice, and he and the other two comrades held prisoner with him have sent letters and greetings to several
different events initiated by the Other Campaign.

Abraham is also directly involved in the organization of a popular kitchen inside the Pochutla prison due to the fact that the prisoners have no dining room in this prison. This activity has lead to harassment, hostility, and acts of aggression against him by prison authorities.
The man to be held responsible for these aggressions is the director of the penitentiary, Juan Noel Ramirez Medina, who directly followed the orders of URO.

Thanks to a call that Abraham claimed to do himself, on Sunday the 1st of February at twelve we were told that our comrade was in Miahuatlan jail, in Oaxaca. This jail is mostly full of prisoners connected to the narcotraffic. We know that some of these prisoners got order to harrass, molest and intimidate our comrade Abraham.
