Barcelona, \u200b\u200bMarch 2, 2011
During
Yesterday afternoon several members of social organizations in Barcelona and private individuals made a complaint to the act of aggression that are the subject peoples and communities in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. The recent arrest of three lawyers from the center of Tonala Digna Ochoa Human Rights as well as acts of violence in communities and Bachajón Mitzitón are an example of the failures to "respect for social peace and human rights" to argue be priority for the Chiapas governor Juan Sabines and President Felipe Calderon.
As a parallel event to the opening of the exhibition paintings "Changes in Oaxaca, supported by the Consulate of Mexico in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bat the entrance were" Other variations of Oaxaca, which is usually hidden from the media and do not reach the public interested in Mexican culture. Small placards and a pamphlet that was given to visitors which explained how a land in Oaxaca is culturally rich as "torture, repress and harass" the people, recalling the unpunished murders of Betty Honey, Jyry Jaakola or Brad Will and attacks by paramilitary groups in communities like San Juan Copala.
Through these actions are intended to invite for reflection and commitment of artists to the situation of violence against indigenous and peasant communities of Mexico, which many designers are nurtured intellectually.
At the same time are a direct demand to the Consulate of Mexico in Barcelona to extend this concern to the appropriate authorities of your country, to curb the escalating violence and repression that has been exerting particularly in Chiapas and Oaxaca, without forget the rest of the country.
therefore continue reporting activities requiring:
· The immediate release without charge of those unjustly detained.
· Cessation of harassment and assault to communities, social activists and human rights defenders
· Respect the rights of individuals and peoples.
We want to show our appreciation for the release of the three lawyers from the Center of Digna Ochoa Human Rights, unjustly detained in the prison of Amate, hours after the conclusion the act.
