To the Governor of Oaxaca, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz:
To the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa:
To the International Human Rights Organizations:
To Social Organizations, Indian National and International Migrants:
To the Media at the local, national and international levels:
The Indigenous Front of Binational Organizations (FIOB) in the strongest terms, we are joining our voices to the thousands of voices of social organizations, indigenous peoples, migrants and human rights organizations worldwide to fully reject the injustice that we are currently witnessing in the Autonomous Municipality of San Juan Copala, Juxtlahuaca, Oaxaca. We hold the governor of Oaxaca, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, directly responsible for these injustices, who in collusion with his political ally, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, the President of Mexico has assumed a position of negligent in failing to intervene to resolve this aged conflict that has now become international, when two human rights representatives were killed at the hands of paramilitaries that the government in power are supporting.
We continue to see the alliance between these corrupt and arrogant politicians. In 2006, when we witnessed the largest social conflict in Oaxaca, the Governor succeeded with threats on the federal government to support with the Federal Preventive Police (PFP) to violently evict from the state capital the people who demanded the resignation of the Governor. And now at all costs, the Governor wants to maintain fear among the citizenry to ensure the success of the candidate of his party (PRI) to win the elections this 4th of July for the governorship of Oaxaca.
