Comunicado:

La comunidad indígena de Santa María Ostula exige la inmediata liberación de los siguientes jóvenes,Juan Manuel Zambrano Santos, Aldo de Jesús Nasario, Juan Felipe Serrano Buelvas y Sergio Arceo Guzmán originarios de esta comunidad.

Estos jóvenes, normalistas de reciente ingreso de la Escuela Normal Indígena de Michoacán, fueron detenidos junto con otros 19 estudiantes mientras se trasladaban en un autobús de la empresa Parhíkuni.

Como parte del legítimo derecho a la protesta, los estudiantes se encontraban rumbo a realizar una acción en contra de las irregularidades existentes en el proceso de ingreso de la Normal mencionada, así como en otros casos de Tiripetío y Arteaga, las otras dos escuelas de este tipo en la entidad.

Debido a una denuncia de robo, emitida por la empresa, agentes de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (SSP) y efectivos de la Unidad de Restablecimiento del Orden Público de la misma institución, realizaron un operativo en conjunto con la División Estatal de Caminos de la Policía Michoacán el día de ayer, 10 de septiembre en el tramo de la caseta de cobro del municipio de Panindícuaro, en la carretera de Occidente.

Fueron detenidas 23 personas que, según reportes mediáticos, quedaron a disposición de la Fiscalía General del Estado para determinar su situación legal.

Sin embargo, queremos subrayar que estos jóvenes no robaron ningún vehículo ni son delincuentes, son estudiantes y estaban trasladándose en un autobús en calidad de préstamo, ya que el presupuesto estatal y federal para apoyo a estudiantes es casi inexistente y no hay presupuesto para traslados.

Exigimos que sea retirada la demanda de robo y que se les ponga en inmediata libertad, ya que el operativo y su detención son injustificadas.

También condenamos la acción violenta por parte de la Policía Michoacán al lanzar un autobús de la institución en contra de estudiantes normalistas de Tiripetío que se manifestaban pacíficamente por la libertad de sus compañeros. El terrible ataque ocurrió la mañana de este 11 de septiembre en la carretera Morelia-Pátzcuaro, dejando a 9 estudiantes lesionados.

El gobierno estatal encabezado pro Silvano Aureoles ha tenido una política represiva contra cualquier acción de protesta, esta ha sido su respuesta a la demanda de mejoras en la educación.

En caso de no dejar en inmediata libertada los estudiantes detenidos la comunidad indígena de Santa María Ostula, tomará las acciones necesarias para conseguir este objetivo, en apoyo a la educación crítica y popular de Michoacán.

¡Nunca más un México sin nosotrxs!

To the peoples of Mexico and the world.

The Indigenous Government Council-Indigenous National Congress repudiate the cowardly attack by members of the paramilitary group called the Regional Organization of Coffee Growers of Ocosingo (ORCAO), who on Saturday August 22 around 11:00 in the morning robbed and burned the facilities from the Nuevo Amanecer del Arcoiris Trade Center, which is located in the place known as the Cuxuljá crossroad, Lucio Cabañas Autonomous Municipality, within the official municipality of Ocosingo, Chiapas.

The paramilitary organization ORCAO has maintained constant pressure on and violence against the Zapatista communities for years; as is the case of the Moises Gandhi Autonomous Municipality, to stop the autonomous organization and to privatize the lands that have cost the struggle and organization of the original peoples, who are Zapatista support bases. They have intimidated and threatened the compañeros and compañeras that from below bet on hope, such as the various attacks against compañeros of the National Indigenous Congress, who were violated and kidnapped by paramilitaries from ORCAO, the Chinchulines, and people from the MORENA party.

We denounce the war that, from above, is being deployed against the Zapatista communities’ organizing, at the same time that above the bad governments seek to impose, throughout the country, megaprojects of death that we oppose and will oppose, because we are not willing to give up our territories and allow the destruction promised by the powerful.

We hold the paramilitary organization ORCAO, the MORENA party, the state government, and the federal government responsible for these events.  They have not stopped sowing violence in the region in order to hit not only our sisters and brothers in the Zapatista communities, but to all the peoples who dream of fighting for life, of healing our mother earth and not letting her be privatized, so that the capitalist bosses and bad governments never return to the autonomous Zapatista territories, and may that light continue to flourish in the territories of the original peoples of the CNI-CIG and all of humanity.

We call on the compañeras y compañeros of support networks and networks of resistance and rebellion to speak out and mobilize against the war of extermination, which is dangerously sharpening against our sisters and brothers of the Zapatista peoples, who teach us to never stop sowing rebellion and hope.

To the peoples of Mexico and the world.

Dear Dionne and Denise

We hope that in this pandemic situation, you and your families are in good health and in good mood.

When we knew about the terrible murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer, and the protest movements against homicidal and racist violence by the American police, we remember a lot about you, about your “BLACK LIVES MATTER”, of your fight for your sons, for justice and the rights of the African American community, when you visited us at the Nahua community of San Juan Volador in the south of Veracruz, Mexico, at the meeting that we organized as women of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI), in late July of last year.

We want you to know that our hearts are with you in this great fight against racism, patriarcal and class power, and all forms of imperialism of who believe to be the owners of this world, that violate civil rights, women’s rights and peoples’ rights.

In Mexico, we also recently suffered the onslaught of police violence; On May 4 of this year, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, under the pretext of not wearing mouth covers on the street, the young Giovanni López was illegally detained, tortured, and killed by Jalisco state police; and on June 5, 16-year-old Melanie was kicked in the face by police elements in a protest demonstration against the murder of Giovanni in Mexico City. In addition to the long history of abuse of force and human rights violations by the Mexican police and army, having torture, femicide, and enforced disappearances as their usual practices.

In addition to the above, the Mexican government is taking advantage of these times of pandemic to impose, in a totally undemocratic way, the militarization of the country and its megaprojects of death such as the Mayan Train and the Interoceanic Corridor, with those seek to dispossession of our indigenous territories and destroy us as peoples.

We recognize ourselves as peoples of all the colors of the Earth, the Earth does not belong to us, we and we belong to Mother Earth.

From our territories we join you, and we will continue in the fight of the movement “Black Lives Matter”, together with all the struggles against this patriarchal, capitalist and racist system.

We will always have you in our hearts!

We send a strong collective hug to you both, your families and all your sisters and brothers.

BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Never again a Mexico without us!

No to the Maya Train! No to the Interoceanic Corridor! #El Istmo es Nuestro

¡Memoria Verdad y Justicia!
Comunidades Originarias a 28 de Mayo del 2020

A los pueblos de México y del Mundo
A los medios de comunicación

Familiares de detenidos desaparecidos rememoran la Semana Internacional del Detenido Desaparecido, donde evocan y luchan por la memoria, la verdad y la justicia para los desaparecidos por el Estado mexicano. En Michoacán, los pueblos originarios mantienen al menos 20 casos de desaparición forzada, detenidos, torturados y desaparecidos por defender su territorio, los recursos naturales y por luchar por un mundo mejor.

En este contexto, entre los años de 1974 y 1976, cinco integrantes de la familia Guzmán Cruz, José Jesús Guzmán Jiménez y sus hijos Amafer, Armando, Solón Adenauer y Venustiano Guzmán Cruz, luchadores sociales originarios de la comunidad p´urhépecha de Tarejero, Municipio de Zacapu, fueron detenidos y desaparecidos por la policía política la entonces Dirección Federal de Seguridad (DFS) y el Ejército Mexicano, detenidos por buscar transformar las condiciones de desigualdad, explotación y pobreza en que vivían.

Posteriormente, el 20 de abril del 2010, Francisco de Asis Manuel, originario de la comunidad Nahua de Ostula, luchador social, presidente del Comisariado de Bienes Comunales de Santa María Ostula, Municipio de Aquila, fue detenido y desaparecido por un grupo armado paramilitar, por defender el territorio y la autonomía de la comunidad.

Hoy sus familias continúan con la búsqueda incansable de los desaparecidos, nosotros respetuosamente, acompañamos su dolor, su dignidad, su caminar y su búsqueda por la memoria, la verdad y la justicia.

Por nuestros desaparecidos, continuamos resistiendo y luchando.
