Raise your voices against repressions by the state of Chiapas, Mexico
May 4th, 2009
San Cristóbal de las Casas,
Chiapas, México
To members of the other campaign both national and international
To the alternative national and international media
Sisters and brothers in national and international resistance movements
Cordial greetings! We are writing you today to ask for your strong and committed support in action and solidarity in the search for justice for 8 activists unjustly and illegally imprisoned, tortured, badly treated, stigmatized by the media, and now awaiting possible incarceration for false accusations. Presently these activists, Jerónimo Gómez Saragos, Antonio Gómez Saragos, Miguel Demeza Jiménez, Sebastián Demeza Deara, Pedro Demeza Deara y Jerónimo Moreno Deara, members of the Other Campaign and residents of Ejido San Sebastián Bachajón, in the municipality of Chilón, detained on April 13th, 2009; as well as Alfredo Gómez Moreno y Miguel Vázquez Moreno, who is a a member of the Zapatistas, and was detained on the 17the and18th of April in the prison “El Amate” CERESS 14 in Cintalapa, Chiapas, Mexico. In the course of the next 4 days, ending on Friday, May 8th, the state will decide whether these activists are innocent and free from the crimes which they are falsely accused or whether they will be incorporated in the corruption of this government and imprisoned.
These activists, members of the Other Campaign and the Zapatistas, among the most active of those working for social change, are part of the first dignified voices to proclaim themselves against the new highway project that will connect the cities of Ocosingo and Palenque. These projects will initiate the basic infrastructure for a series of massive projects proposed by the government and multinational corporations. These projects engage in the theft of the abundant natural resources in the region and the implementation of a large scale tourism business that will destroy the surrounding environment.
If we allow this process to continue in silence, we, the national and international community will leave open the possibility for this government to continue their crimes; allowing repressions to continue against social activists; giving permission to torture, intimidate, and detain anyone that defends their legitimate right to live without fear and demand their basic human rights; we will allow them to continue to develop massive projects that will lead to the destruction of a dignified life for any human being.
Now is an important and urgent moment to act in every way possible to achieve liberty for these activists. In the next few days any type of political act in your city or country that will call attention to the unjust detention of these activists and support this struggle for basic human rights will help. We need to pressure the state government and administration of Juan Sabines Guerrero to liberate these political prisoners. Any act is useful whether it be in group or individual; marches, letters to the government of Chiapas and the federal government of Mexico, signed petitions, calls and letters to the press…will all bring attention to these injustices.
Sincerely,
Adherents to the sixth declaration of the Lacandon jungle, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México.

Alcen la voz contra las represiones del estado
4 de Mayo, 2009
San Cristóbal de las Casas,
Chiapas, México
A los compañer@s de la otra campaña Nacional e internacional
A los medios de comunicación Alternativo, nacional e internacional.
Hermanas y hermanos de la sociedad civil Nacional e internacional.
¡Saludos cordiales! Les escribimos para solicitar un fuerte apoyo de solidaridad y acción en la búsqueda de justicia para 8 compañeros injustamente y ilegalmente encarcelados, torturados, maltratados, estigmatizados en los medios de comunicación, y ahora pendientes de su posible encarcelamiento por acusaciones falsas. Hoy día los compañeros, Jerónimo Gómez Saragos, Antonio Gómez Saragos, Miguel Demeza Jiménez, Sebastián Demeza Deara, Pedro Demeza Deara y Jerónimo Moreno Deara, integrantes de La Otra Campaña del Ejido San Sebastián Bachajón, municipio de Chilón, detenidos el pasado 13 de abril; así como de los señores Alfredo Gómez Moreno y de Miguel Vázquez Moreno, éste último Base de Apoyo del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, detenidos el 17 y 18 de abril se encuentran en el centro de detención “El Amate” CERESO 14 en Cintalapa, Chiapas. En un plazo de 4 días, hasta viernes 8 de mayo, se decidirá si se les concede su inocencia y libertad por los crímenes que se les tratan de inculpar o si la corrupción de este mal gobierno los encarcelara.
Estos compañeros adherentes de la otra campana y un base da apoyo al EZLN, luchadores sociales de los más activos, son parte de los primeros hombres dignos a pronunciarse en contra de la carretera palenque Ocosingo, infraestructura básica para el inicio de los mega proyectos del gobierno y las empresas capitalistas. Proyectos que consisten en el saqueo de los recursos naturales abundantes en la región y en el fomento turístico a gran escala destructor del medio ambiente.
Si dejamos que pase este hecho en silencio le dejamos la puerta abierta al mal gobierno para continuar con sus crímenes; dándole paso a que siga con la represión que ejerce en contra de los luchadores sociales; dándole permiso para torturar intimidar e encerar a cualquiera que defiende el legitimo hecho de vivir sin miedo exigiendo que se respecten sus derechos; dándole vía libre a la realización de sus mega proyectos aniquiladores de todo tipo de vida digna para el ser humano.
Ahora es importante e urgente actuar de todos los modos posibles para conseguir sus libertades. Les invitamos a que realicen actos políticos en apoyo a los injustamente detenidos en y desde sus respectivas comunidades y países. Necesitamos presionar al gobierno estatal de Juan Sabines Guerrero para que libere nuestros compañeros presos políticos. Cualquier acto es importante y útil sea colectivo como individual; marchas, cartas al gobierno federal y estatal, peticiones de firmas, llamadas, artículos en la prensa...
Att.
Adherentes a la sexta declaración de la selva Lacadona, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México.

I´m usually fairly sceptical about spending my time writing to politicians, but in this case it would really make a difference. Anyone familiar with the history of the Zapatistas knows the Mexican government has often reacted to international pressure. They don´t want a bad international reputation so when they think the world is watching they ease up on the repression. So please send some letters and emails and help these activists get released.
