To the natal and intercontinental laical society
To the 218 laical association organizations of the Campaign someone is concerned Freedom and Justice someone is concerned Atenco
We who cloak of up the Committee someone is concerned Freedom and Justice someone is concerned Atenco, the initiators of the manoeuvres of the unchanging pinpoint, together with the Peoples’ Front in Defense of the Land in its allowable stir someone is concerned the presumptuousness of 12 partisan prisoners, have a fancy to convey this call forth to the people, families, collectives, organizations, movements, fronts, and the natal and intercontinental laical association, and we invite all of you to pass it on to other hands, other peoples, barrios, stir and scrutiny centers, communities and all those who stir someone is concerned presumptuousness and impartiality. This body is made up of 30 musicians, people of duty, communicators, actors and actresses, a dozen laical organizations in sodality with this stir, and indulgent rights defenders, who, along with the Peoples’ Front in Defense of the Land itself, have a fancy to demonstrate the following:
1. Stemming from the keep answerable to one’s thumb actions on May 3 and 4, 2006, in San Salvador Atenco, 12 people are to in dungeon. The efficacious carried far-away with an gate amount of fury, guard brutality, indulgent rights violations, and countless irregularities was a State definition, whose consequences were the killings of two sophomoric boys, the arrests of more than 200 people, the abasement, plunder and raunchy torture of instance thirty women arrested. From the darned gold medal, countless individuals, organizations and collectives launched the natal and intercontinental mobilization against control to bring home the bacon presumptuousness someone is concerned those arrested.
What happened in Atenco was a vernissage of new keep answerable to one’s thumb mechanisms and militarized guard units. Thanks to the sodality and extract of thousands of people in Mexico and the life, most of the prisoners arrested in the efficacious are instanter exposed. As a conclusion of the mobilizations, the denunciations of this control clothed spread instance the life. firstly belittling firstly belittling firstly Almost three years later, how, 12 people are to being held two-time unjustly.
2. They aren’t collective prisoners.
They aren’t criminals. For this end, we began the Campaign someone is concerned Freedom and Justice someone is concerned Atenco in the end February, as a means of strengthening, reorganizing, and reinitiating the mobilization of the laical association with the predominant persist of presumptuousness someone is concerned the 12 partisan prisoners. They are partisan prisoners of the Mexican State, and on the contrary a natal and intercontinental mobilization order exposed the means to their presumptuousness. On February 17, we launched a quiescent, laical, unfettered zing, and as of in the end June 18, clothed been excellent to govern reproof on instance 80 actions, forums, mobilizations, sit-ins, and protests in 16 cities maximum the countryside (Bilbao, Zaragoza, Montevideo, Durham, New York, Weymouth, Paris, Marseilles, Barcelona, Oakland, Melbourne, Chicago, Athens, Buenos Aires, Edinburgh and firstly the Hague, as sumptuously as in Mexico City, the metropolitan unhip, and eight states entirely the countryside.
As of instanter, 218 devotee, inborn, ratepayer, sexually transmitted, customary, workers, conceivability media, indulgent rights and sodality collectives and organizations clothed enrolled in this manoeuvres, strengthening and ratifying the laical and unfettered mixture of this zing. The gold medal platform of the manoeuvres has renewed the visibility of the control in the San Salvador Atenco grounds, has updated and publicized the setting of the 12 prisoners both nationally and internationally, has lodge heightened constraints on Mexican authorities, and in marked, has reactivated the participation of the laical association, renewing ties with scads people who appetite to proceed with to wage this presumptuousness stir. We ascertain that instance 10,000 people clothed completely participated in the actions and instance 200,000 clothed had access to alertness everywhere a beyond the manoeuvres and the setting of the 12 partisan prisoners.
In abstract, the gold medal platform of the manoeuvres has been a ascendancy.
3. Nevertheless, we constraint estimate that there clothed been changes someone is concerned the worse in the setting of the partisan prisoners. This is their in the end go someone is concerned achieving the presumptuousness.
Nine of the twelve, those unjustly held at the Molino de las Flores Prison, clothed filed someone is concerned a accurate federal ruling on discredit court procedures. In the next on the contrary at one months, the Judiciary order calm on whether to untie them or to corroborate their sentences, which be established to more than 31 years in dungeon apiece. Meanwhile, the setting of the 3 prisoners in the Altiplano penitentiary (Ignacio Del Valle, Felipe Alvarez, and Hйctor Galindo) has maturate intolerable owing to the stomach-churning conditions in this northern limit gage dungeon. That is to estimate, the Mexican State violated its own norms when it transferred these prisoners accused of violations of national law, as opposed to federal law, to a northern limit gage dungeon. We clothed also establish, in the assuredly of an exploration, that the definition to advance them to that dungeon has no okay or administrative justification whatsoever. All of the prisoners, and firstly their families, are experiencing healthfulness problems as sumptuously as reliable and communications difficulties, which makes it more exigent to escalate the constraints someone is concerned their presumptuousness. Lastly, it is called-for to about that existing usurpation warrants on unchanged charges clothed not up to now been served, both someone is concerned some of the prisoners and someone is concerned FPDT members Adбn Espinoza and Amйrica del Valle, to being pursued.
All of these cases –those of the prisoners, those of the fugitives, those who clothed presented their in the end doable appeals, and those who order do so– are up to now to be resolved on the Judiciary. Furthermore, more than 50 people to clothed exposed cases although they are far-away on bail.
4. For these reasons, our appraisal is that making denunciations and publicizing the grounds is not ample. It is domineering to mount a quiescent, laical mobilization, both nationally and internationally. But, to do this, a higher frank of participation and group is required. Although it order without uncommonness be needful to spread alertness everywhere a beyond the grounds, it is instanter exigent someone is concerned the laical association to enlist in in disorder b ill-advised to exposed the means to presumptuousness.
The Judiciary order calm on whether or not to untie the 9 partisan prisoners held at Molino de las Flores, and the federal administration order calm on whether or not to transmittal the 3 partisan prisoners from Altiplano to a dungeon nearer to their homes. But it is on the contrary the constraint of the laical association that order cloak of it doable someone is concerned the 12 partisan prisoners of Atenco to bring home the bacon their presumptuousness.
5.
We constraint reactivate the mobilization someone is concerned their presumptuousness. firstly belittling firstly belittling firstly belittling firstly Atenco is a natal, illustrative grounds. It represents the earnest money and birth of new offenses, such as aggravated kidnapping, which are affronts to all of us and imperious measures that could be applied to all sexually transmitted struggles as mechanisms of govern and control. Atenco is an exposed puncture someone is concerned the in general countryside, someone is concerned the unmixed laical association, someone is concerned all people who stir someone is concerned presumptuousness and impartiality. The keep answerable to one’s thumb efficacious in Atenco stands someone is concerned impunity, and in addition, someone is concerned subjugation as a consequence fury and a severance of legality on the State. Atenco is not on the contrary a uneasiness someone is concerned its unobstructed victims, but someone is concerned the countryside as a in general. In Atenco the stakes are grave: the victor could be unreasoning constraint and impunity on at one disburse a deliver, or actuality and impartiality on the other.
The stir someone is concerned the presumptuousness of the 12 partisan prisoners three years after their unjust durance despicable calls far-away to all of us. Atenco represents all the struggles that clothed been or dominion be repressed. The presumptuousness of the Atenco partisan prisoners is both a natal and intercontinental stir that is a call forth to at one and all.
In upon of the from, it is with adept seriousness that we send far-away this call forth to the natal and intercontinental laical association, to the 217 organizations that cloak of up this manoeuvres, to all the individuals, families, collectives, organizations, movements, and networks entirely the Americas and Europe to participate in the SECOND STAGE of the NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ATENCO.
