verdadero pueblo 31.Oct.2006 20:24
pobres aquellos que defienden a la appo, han provocado as destrosos que cualquier otra cosa, asdemas de dejar a muchas gentes desempleadas y un estado lleno de basura, el verdadero pueblo esta en contra de ellos y bienvenida la PFP a oaxaca, y bravo por la muerte de su revoltoso reportero.
investigen y sean objetivos!!!!
oswaldo 31.Oct.2006 22:03
La realidad en oaxaca es que la APPO se vio afectada desde que el gobernador Ulises Ruiz dejo de subsidiar economicamente a este grupo que realmente no sirve para nada, asi mismo la culpa del gobernador es que primero los concintio con favores economicos y ahora se los retira, la APPO no tiene ningun argumento humano para seguir en esta lucha (son puros intereses de lideres corruptos), les recomiendo ser mas objetivos en sus comentarios, gracias, estoy a sus ordenes, bye, indymedia debe de exigir la desaparicion de la APPO en memoria de su periodista (q.e.p.d.)
p.d. Para limpiar casas ajenas hay que empezar por la nuestra (reflexion), que me cuentan del muro de la verguenza????

es la hora en que todas las luchas ailadas se unan para derrotar a uno de los enemigos del pueblo, el gobernador uro, es curioso notar como la gente simplemente reproduce lo que les meten en la cabeza y no analizan lo que esta pasando en el estado, supongo que los que estan en contra son pequeño-burgueses que siempre han tenido todos los lujos y no como la inmensa mayoria del pueblo oaxaqueño que esta en la miseria, seria bueno que nos presentaramos como somos, el pueblo que busca justicia por un lado y por el otro los que se han apoderado por mucho tiempo de el y se divierten a costa de nuestro sufrimiento, fuera uro de oaxaca y la pfp, la resistencia continua

Oaxaca es mas que la Appo
Daniel 01.Nov.2006 17:27
Es increible como la prensa nacional e internacional se esfuerza por deteriorar el prestigio de OAxaca, Oaxaca no es la appo, Oaxaca no es la Seccion XXII, Oaxaca es un pueblo lleno de folklor, tradiciones, raices y tantas otras cosas, a caso algun reportero ha visitado alguno de nuestros mercados de la ciudada? o de los pueblos cercanos?, por ejemplo ayer 31 y hoy 1 es emotivo caminar entre tanta gente que lucha de verdad por salir adeante, una mezcla de aromas de flores, frutas e inciensos invade el ambiente de todos los mercados, Oaxaca no es solo el centro Historico, Por favor no traten de lastimar el prestigio de esta nuestra ciudad y Estado, Señores de la prensa no sean tendenciosos, visiten y denle voz al verdadero pueblo de OAxaca.

¡Defender la lucha del magisterio y la APPO en Oaxaca!
Grupo Espartaquista de México 03.Nov.2006 01:05
¡Por acciones huelguísticas obreras contra la represión estatal!
http://www.icl-fi.org/espanol/leaflets/appo.html
¡Ninguna ilusión en el PRD, un partido del capital!
29 de octubre—Tras más de cuatro meses de huelga del magisterio —sostenida heroicamente contra continuos ataques estatales asesinos—, y a pesar de que los maestros habían votado ya levantarla, el brutal estado capitalista ha desatado la represión masiva para aplastar la lucha de los maestros oaxaqueños y sus aliados de la APPO (Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca). Mientras escribimos estas líneas, se informa que la PFP ha tomado ya el zócalo de la ciudad de Oaxaca. Se informa también que, apenas al inicio de la represión, un joven de quince años de edad ha sido asesinado de un balazo; hay ya decenas de detenidos. La sangrienta represión del día 27 de octubre cobró cuatro vidas más: el profesor Emilio Alonso Fabián, el camarógrafo estadounidense de Indymedia Bradley Roland Will, el comunero Esteba Ruiz y una persona aún no identificada fueron asesinados en ataques de las policías ministerial y preventiva junto con paramilitares del PRI. Se informa también que durante esas jornadas hubo 23 heridos, 20 detenidos y se desconoce el paradero de 50 profesores. De junio a la fecha, han sido asesinados ya por policías o gatilleros al menos catorce maestros y luchadores sociales, varios más han sido presos o secuestrados, y cada día se informa de nuevas provocaciones y ataques policiacos. Los maestros y la APPO no deben enfrentar solos las asesinas embestidas del estado capitalista. El ataque contra el magisterio es un ataque dirigido al conjunto del movimiento obrero, y está en el interés de éste defender a los maestros oaxaqueños. La clase obrera industrial debe flexionar su poderoso músculo en acciones huelguísticas en defensa del magisterio oaxaqueño y la APPO.
Los trotskistas del Grupo Espartaquista de México protestamos de la manera más enérgica posible los ataques del estado y sus bandas de pistoleros y nos solidarizamos con la lucha del magisterio, los estudiantes y campesinos que los apoyan. Decimos: ¡libertad inmediata a todos los detenidos! ¡Abajo todos los cargos! ¡PFP, ejército fuera de Oaxaca! ¡Por acciones huelguísticas obreras contra la represión estatal! ¡Defender al magisterio y la APPO!
Por su apoyo a la lucha en Oaxaca, estudiantes del CCH Naucalpan fueron brutalmente atacados el jueves pasado por porros al servicio de las autoridades y el estado. Uno de los estudiantes fue asesinado y cinco más se encuentran hospitalizados. ¡Por movilizaciones obreras y estudiantiles para echar a los porros de la UNAM!
El repudio generalizado a los ataques derechistas del PAN y sectores del PRI ha conducido a una aguda polarización social y el ascenso del populismo representado prominentemente por el PRD...
Murder of Brad Will and violence in Oaxaca was protested in Istanbul
Istanbul Indymedia 03.Nov.2006 07:48
in front of Mexico’s Consulate
A press meeting and demonstration by Indymedia – Istanbul volunteers was realized today (2 November, 2006) in front of Mexico’s Consulate in Istanbul to protest the murder of documentarist anarchist Brad Will by state-supported paramilitary forces on 27 October, 2006 in Mexico, Oaxaca; who was there as a volunteer journalist for Indymedia-New York to document the state-funded paramilitary violence against teachers and people’s councils’ struggle.
Banners written “Indymedia” and “Ya Basta” were used during the demonstration, which was participated by OtonomA, Anarchist Bloc and Anarchist Communist Initiative along with Indymedia Istanbul Volunteers. The press release was read among chants of “all states are murderers”, “murderer state gonna surely be demolished”, “ “Ya Basta, Viva Oaxaca”, “No force can overcome organized people”, “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido”, “Uprise, Revolution, Anarchy”. The demonstrators threw tens of eggs to the windows of the Consulate.
The police invited the demonstrators to the police station so as to “learn the ideas of the participitators”, but the demonstrators kindly refused the invitation. Demonstration was finalised among chants of demonstrators after that.
The demonstration, participated by around 20 activists, was made to remind Mexican government from Istanbul that people of Oaxaca is not and will never be left alone in their resistance.
The press release that was read during the demonstration:
A strike is being experienced far far away from here, which is but just beside us with the feelings, thoughts and desires it calls upon. A new history is being written on the lands that was never left without uprisings for justice, equality and freedom in the last 500 years.
Independent alternative media worker Brad Will, one of those who accompanied these historical moments, who reported what happened without distorting and without moulding what happened into shapes that the system and capitalism wanted, who was a member of the New York Indymedia Initiative was killed on 27 October, 2006 by gunned state-supported forces pretending to be civils.
The strike initiated by teachers five months ago for better education conditions and a better economic situation was supported by Oaxaca People Councils, which demanded more democracy. The activities realized for most democratic demands was replied harshly by province cops. The paramilitary forces (supported by governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, whose resignation is demanded strongly by People Councils) and police attacked people of Oaxaca and killed seven so far. Brad Will has been one of the latest victims of the state-funded violence while trying to document it in Oaxaca.
Indymedia has been on the side of forces that struggles for and demands justice, equality and freedom; efforts to rise the voices and be the news channel of these struggles and those who struggled. We lost a comrade and a colleague on the path to realize these aims; we bow our head in front of his memory. This event reminded us one more time not to become crestfallen or fall in fear but rather to work more for a more beautiful world.
We support the demand of all Indymedia network that that the acts and violence of Oaxaca province governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, who continues to use paramilitary and police forces against people and of other authorities immediately be gone through and investigated by independent journalists. We state hereby that arrests of a few attackers only for show are and will never be enough.
We hereby restate once more that we will continue to be the voice of justice, equality and freedom kept on at many places in the world and curse the violence directed against the struggle to terminate injustice, exploitation and slavery.

Oaxaca: the flame that rekindles hope
Nihat Yildiz 03.Nov.2006 20:25
Greetings from Istanbul. We respect the struggle of the Oaxacan people for their liberty and dignity. We watch everything via independent media and we do not believe in the news of the mass media like BBC, CNN, etc. We respect the determination of Oaxacans to use peaceful means of resistance as much as possible. Thus you show the immorality of the oppressors to all. We also applaud your decision to defend the university and your media channels at all costs. Oaxaca is the flame that rekindles hope in weary hearts around the world. la justicia para el pueblo, victoria para el pueblo.
