URGENT SOLIDARITY NEEDED
OAXACA ACTIVIST JUAN MANUEL MARTINEZ MORENO, MEMBER OF APPO (ASAMBLEA POPULAR DE LOS PUEBLOS DE OAXACA), IS STILL INCARCERATED, FALSELY ACCUSED OF THE MURDER OF U.S. INDYMEDIA PHOTO-JOURNALIST BRAD WILL IN OAXACA IN OCT. 2006. HIS NEXT COURT HEARING TO HAVE THE CASE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE WILL BE HELD IN FEDERAL COURT IN OAXACA ON AUGUST 26, 2009.
THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS DESPERATE FOR A CONVICTION IN THIS CASE BECAUSE ITS RESOLUTION WAS SPECIFICALLY MADE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL OF THE ECONOMIC AID PACKAGE KNOWN AS THE MERIDA INITIATIVE, ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN MEXICO.
THE FEDERAL JUDGE IN OAXACA WHO WILL RECEIVE THE ARGUMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES AND DECIDE THE FATE OF JUAN MANUEL IS AT THE JUDICIAL LEVEL BELOW THE SUPREME COURT OF MEXICO.
