On 20 June 2012 in the afternoon, the day after the police eviction of the Agua Azul toll booth, which had been recovered by adherents to the other campaign from San Sebastián Bachajón the previous morning, we spoke to some of the adherents, who recounted the situation.
We also inform that on the evening of 20 June the last two people who had been missing since the police action showed up. Some of the adherents suffered lesions, most of them relatively minor, with the exception of one person, who required medical attention as a result of the aggression.

Update on the recovery of the toll booth to the waterfalls of Agua Azul:
Adherents to the Other Campaign from San Sebastián Bachajón recovered the toll booth to the waterfalls of Agua Azul, Chiapas, at around 7 am. The occupation was peaceful and no acts of repression or confrontations have been reported. For a time helicopters flew over the area and one of them landed at Agua Azul and met with the opposing group. At about 2 pm the helicopter left. Shortly after, the chief of police and the government delegate, José Manuel Morales, went by the toll booth to check how many people there were.
In this audio, we hear the voice of one of the ejido members, who narrates the occupation.
