The above mentions 19 arrests of "APPO members" in a demo outside the US Consulate, which I guess
must be what is referring above. And here's the statement that was issued yesterday, before they
were released: -----------------------------------------------------------
"Alert: mass arrests in Oaxaca
At noon today, Saturday January 3, 2009, more than 20 comrades were
arrested in a peaceful march to the United States Consulate in Oaxaca,
in repudiation of the genocide perpetrated by Israel against the
Palestinian people. According to information received, the arrests occurred as demonstrators
were en route to the Consulate, located in the Santo Domingo de Guzmán
area of the city of Oaxaca. Without mincing words, the police forces
attacked them with extreme violence that was totally unjustified when
the march had barely begun. At first, those arrested were taken to the Metropolitana, and it would
seem that they were later transferred to San Bartolo Teontepec. Among
those arrested are: Alebrije, Chucho, Cosme, Monty, Emo, Lallanta, Gabi,
and two comrades from Chiapas whose names we don’t yet know. We’re still
waiting to receive the complete list of the people arrested. The undersigned collectives and spaces fear for the treatment that our
comrades are now receiving and state that the politician ultimately
responsible for these arrests, as well as any act of sexual torture or
attempt against the physical and psychic integrity that these comrades
may be subjected to, is Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. We call on all social organizations, news media, and the peoples of
Oaxaca, México, and the national and international civil society to stay
on the alert for incoming news and to act so that the impunity that
enjoyed by the government will not be silenced, demanding the immediate
and unconditional release of all people arrested. Immediate and unconditional freedom for the people arrested outside the
United States Consulate in Oaxaca Freedom for all political prisoners of Oaxaca, México and the world And end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people An end to the invasion of Gaza. Israeli army out of Palestine
