SOLIDARITY WITH MEXICO AND THE PEOPLE OF OAXACA
|
RALLY
MONDAY NOVEMBER 6TH 5.30PM STATE PARLIAMENT HOUSE SPRING STREET CITY-MELBOURNE The People of Oaxaca are suffering the repression of the government for claiming the dismissal of the state governor due to his complete mismanagement. The people of Oaxaca have suffered the repression of their right to protest, their right to freedom of expression and their right to a dignified living. They claim that the governor must go and this has had the consequence of an orchestrated repressive response by the Oaxaca and the Mexican Federal governments. People are dying, the police and paramilitary are shooting with guns while people are responding with pacific means. Brad Will, the New Yorker Indymedia reported who died on Friday is the evidence of that. But other people are also paying with their lives the authoritarian manners of this government. STOP THE REPRESSION!! STOP THE KILLINGS!! more info: Latin American Solidarity Network | lasnet@latinlasnet.org |
