GUADALAJARA: MISE À JOUR URGENTE
Violente répression à Guadalajarastreakingbeet 31 May 2004 01:44 GMT (traduit par streakingbeet)
Selon les informations les plus récentes de ce matin, plusieurs manifestant(e)s ont été libérés. Malgré tout, près de 70 personnes sont toujours emprisonnées. À la conférence de presse de midi, aujourd’hui, des rumeurs ont été confirmées au sujet de la torture et de l’humiliation des prisonnier(e)s, de descriptions de l’usage de violence en cours, des insultes, etc. À l’arrivée, les homes ont été séparés des femmes. Les femmes ont été forcées de se dévêtir complètement, forcées dans d’étranges positions et forcées d’ouvrir et de fermer la porte à chaque fois. Elles ont été détenues pendant plus de trois heures sur le sol, les bras derrière le cou, pendant qu’on les ruait de coups de pieds et qu’on leur sautait dessus. De l’intérieur, certaines prisonnières ont entendu quelqu’un dire que les étrangers devaient être libérés le plus tôt possible afin de ne pas créer de problèmes avec les embassades. Ceci a été dénoncé par une des prisonnières, une habitante de Guadalajara, qui se trouvait près d’un arrêt d’autobus avec ses parents et un reporter d’un organisme, après avoir participé à la mobilisation. Apparemment, quelques habitants de Guadalajara ont été libérés depuis 3am ce matin (selon des données officielles). On ne sait ttoujours rien de ceux et de celles porté(e)s disparu(e)s, ce qui indique un signe de revange et de haine de la part des autorités envers chacun et chacune de nous. Les ONGs et les Syndicats nient tout. Au sujet des blessé(e)s, on sait que 9 ont déjà quitté l’hôpital, et que 2 souffrent de ruptures intestinales et de lesions à la tête. Lors des négotiations, les autorités – qui n’ont toujours pas, à ce jour, fournit une liste des détenu(e)s — ont demandé aux manifestant(e)s d’évacuer la ville immédiatement, de ne plus tenir de manifestations, et de payer les dommages aux banques et aux commercants. Il est urgent de faire circuler cette information et de tenir des manifestations exigeant la libérations des prisonnier(e)s - au sujet desquel(le)s la rumeur veut qu’entre 9 et 15 seront accusé(e)s d’offenses criminelles sérieuses. Du Centre des Médias Indépendents (CMI-Guadalajara), une notice officielle a été envoyée aux différents centres de médias indépendents locaux, nationaux et internationau.x, afin de faire pression et d’accélérer la fin des détentions. Un compte PayPal a été créé afin de recevoir des dons pour couvrir les frais légaux des détenu(e)s. Plus d’Information:

For YOU
War Is NOT Healthy For Any Living Thing 30.May.2004 09:58
YES, we are Praying for you! Postive thinking goes around the World - I am convinced of that because it worked in my situation!!! But the situtation that is happening NOW about the violence the corporations cause and the "police" will just simply NOT go away for sometime!! That is WHY we HAVE to plan, with Concrete Solid ideas, what we are going to do in the near future like in about 6 months to two years from now - about escaping if we are "caught" etc. We have to get together more so that if a few of our brothers are being persecuted in one place we can go help them somehow!! I cannot openly say what to do, but I'm sure that a lot of you can come up with a few Really Good ideas that will work to help most people in these situtions. When I have sorted out my things that I need to do to help others, I will get in contact with a few people and they can pass things along.
Please try and do what you can to escape this oppression at any given time. I wish I was there to help but I am too far away to help you. Someone I hope is looking into the matter now. I can tell you right now that we better try now to find more ways to communicate(there is tons of ways), because of the Italian "government" who is trying to take the freedom of the people away, from using the Internet for communication. What IF your "gov." did that to you and the rest of the country? I Have an Idea that might work. Theres Almost Always a Counter to bad intrusive ways. I will in due time tell people about it. Theres also another Fantastic way to communicate that Doesn't need electronics. Wait till you hear about it!!
I am going right now to pray for you and GOD willing = you will stay FREE!! If it is His time to act for your Freedom. It Grieves my Soul, SO much about hearing of this!!

MAY 28, 2004: COPS REFUSE TO IDENTIFY ARRESTEES, DEMAND RANSOM FOR RELEASE
Extreme police repression breaks out at the ALCUE trade summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, where Latin American and Caribbean heads of state are negotiating the terms of the sale of their countries' resources and labor to the European Union behind closed doors. Global justice activists demanding public participation and democratic debate over development polices, along with bystanders, were brutally beaten, gassed, and arrested. The majority of those detained were picked up in the street in the hours later as they attempted to retreat to safety. As they have refused to release the names, charges and
locations of the arrestees, we consider them to have been "disappeared" by the authorities. In negotiations, police have proposed to ransom all but 9 of the disappeared in exchange for payment for property damage.
CALL TO ACTION:
In Guadalajara, Mexico, violent repression and torture is occurring during protests of the meeting of Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union May 26-29th. Activists are protesting the meetings of an exclusive group of heads of state who do not represent needs of their communities, who are signing agreements that will increase poverty and exploit resources and labor.
Police harassment and brutality has been rampant during the protests. On May 27, after a camp where out-of-town protesters were staying, was surrounded by police and no one was allowed to enter or exit for five hours. The following day, Friday, May 28th, serious confrontation broke out during the main march of the conference. The police unnecessarily attacked protesters with tear gas, pepper spray and physical aggression. After standing their ground for over an hour, protesters were forced to flee the area. The majority of arrests were made after the confrontation had ended, as protesters attempted to reach a safe place.
Over 100 activists and bystanders have disappeared. Protesters are being held in 5 different jails and 2 different hospitals and the authorities have refused to release their names . Witnesses in the jails have reported torture inside the jail. Women have been forced to strip naked, and men have been brutally beaten while handcuffed on the ground. Nine of the people being held are foreigners, one of them severely injured. Her physical condition is unknown and no visitors, including lawyers, have been allowed to visit any detainees.
Authorities have claimed that they will release most prisoners on two conditions: out-of-town protesters must leave immediately, and all damaged property must be paid for. The current situation at 9:00 pm, Saturday night: ten people have been let out, a list of names has finally been released, 43 of which will remain in jail on charges, and eight foreigners are about to be deported.
OUR DEMANDS:
1) Unconditional freedom for all the political detainees
2) Drop all charges
3) No more harassment, torture, beatings or arrests
4) Proper medical treatment for injured detainees
5) Safe passage home for all activists
WE CALL FOR ACTIONS OF SOLIDARITY
1) phone calls to the Mexican embassy and consulates
2) donations for legal fees
3) flyering in your community and at Mexican consulates
4) creative actions of all kinds to pressure the Mexican government
INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

4 personas han ingresado en la prision de guadalajara hoy lunes 31 de mayo
lola 31.May.2004 20:58
Alrededor de 95 personas fueron detenidas el viernes en la manifestacion que se realizao en guadalajara, Mexico para protestar por la Cumbre que realizaban los jefes de Estado de Europa, America Latina y Caribe. Hoy lunes 31 de mayo 4 de ellas/os han ingresado en el Penal Puente Grande de Guadalajara y posiblemente hoy ingresen unas 5 mas, pero no es seguro, ya que al mediodia de hoy hora mejicana caduca el plazo de 72 horas legal que la policia tiene para decidir la situacion de los/as DETENIDOS/AS. Como viene pasando en estas protestas el dispositivo policial era brutal y la ciudad ya estaba cerrada, sobretodo el centro, unos dias antes. 33 personas fueron liberadas la madrugada del viernes, la mayoria de Guadalajara, 10 mas el sabado por la tarde y 8 extranjeros, entre ellos/as 2 catalanes 1 vasco y una chica de Madrid o almenos vive en Madrid, estos estan en el Instituto Nacional de Migracion de Iztapalapa en el D.F. Salieron en autocar el sabado a la noche hacia este centro y alli decidiran sobre su situacion, lo mas probable es que acepten la deportacion, pero no han podido hablar con los abogados. Ninguno/a de los 95 detenidos/as ni aun hoy lunes, ninguno/a de los/as 44 que restan detenidas/os ha podido hablar con sus abogados/as. Se les ha torturado, maltratado fisica y psicologicamente, se habla de posibles VIOLACIONES a algunos HOMBRES y tocamientos a mujeres, no han tenido asistencia medica ni jurica, se les ha obligado a firmar declaraciones bajo amenazas. Es un proceso lleno de irregularidades i donde no se estan cumpliendo los derechos basicos ni humanitarios, cuando no hay pruebas contra la mayoria de los/las detenidos/as. Desde las organizaciones de Guadalajara se convoca internacionalmente para el proximo Viernes 4 de junio, para realizar acciones delante de las embajadas o consulados mexicanos para pedir la libertad de los/las detenidos/as. El gobernador del estado de Jalisco, Francisco Ramirez Acuña ha declarado:'A los que sean puestos en libertad y no sean vecinos del estado, se les exigira que abandonen de inmediato el estado de Jalisco' esta declaracion viola el derecho a la libertyad de transito que ampara el art. 11 de la Constitucion mexicana.
