A-Infos (en) Mexico, URGENT Oaxaca grassroots PUBLIC TRIAL in Mexico City for crimes against humanity Aug 3/4 - call for international

Despite the repression, APPO continues the fight.  It is holding a Public Trial 
in Mexico City against criminals Gov. Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, ex-President Vicente 
Fox Quezada, Carlos Abascal, illegitimate President Felipe Calderón (also guilty 
of electoral fraud) and all those who are responsible for crimes against the 
humanity of the people of Mexico. ---- 3 & 4 AUGUST 2007 PUBLIC POLITICAL TRIAL 
& JUDGEMENT OF THE CRIMINAL ULISES RUIZ ORTIZ ---- Seven months have passed 
since the deadly alliance of the fascist parties PRI & PAN unleashed the most 
ferocious and bloody repression within living memory in the state of Oaxaca. 
People are being punished for demanding the removal of Governor Ulises Ruiz 
Ortiz who came to power through the most fraudulent elections in the recent 
history of the state. Having stolen the election, he then abolished 
constitutional rights and violated the human rights of the majority of the 
population, violations condemned by international human rights organizations 
whose findings have been ignored so far.

The 14th of June and 25th of November 2006 will remain engraved in the memory of 
the people of Oaxaca and Mexico as dates when the forces of repression of both 
state and federal governments tried to drown in blood an unarmed people 
demanding justice.  350 women and men, young and old, were arrested, then 
tortured and in many cases raped in high security prisons.  More than 60 people 
were murdered, 50 were disappeared and 500 activists are now being hounded with 
arrest warrants.

Despite this brutality, the Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca (APPO) not 
only survives but is extending its power across the state.  It is preparing to 
launch a new battle against the impunity of the governments of PRI and PAN 
behind which they are trying to hide their many crimes against the people of 
Mexico and their affront to the people of Oaxaca.

We call on
- The people of Mexico
- Our sisters and brothers in Agua Fría, Aguas Blancas, Acteal, Atenco, Sicartsa
- The relatives of the miners of Pasta de Conchos, of the murdered women of 
Ciudad Juárez and of Ernestina Asensio who was gang-raped in Songolica Veracruz, 
The Other Campaign, the National Democratic Convention, APPM, the trade unions, 
international human rights observers …
- The power of international solidarity
