Receive greetings and embraces of solidarity from Movement for Justice in El Barrio, The Other Campaign New York. We wish to share with you some very good news in this second update on the convocation to the “Week of Global Struggle for the Liberation of Patishtán and Sántiz López: Bringing Down the Prison Walls.”
First: In El Bosque, the birthplace and community of Alberto Patishtán Gómez, family members and friends in solidarity with our compañero Professor Patishtán have convened an “Encuentro of Voices” as part of the Week of Global Struggle for the Liberation of Patishtán and Sántiz López. This march-rally will take place on Friday, May 18, at 11 a.m. in the Municipal Plaza of El Bosque, Chiapas, Mexico. Towards that end, they have invited thousands of people from the municipal head of El Bosque and communities from across Chiapas and Mexico, and all good-hearted people from around the world. This Encuentro has touched our hearts. We are full of energy and emotion to continue fighting as hard as possible so that finally our compas, as Alberto’s daughter Gaby Patishtán states in a recent video message, “may be released soon and justice finally reach our families.”
Second: During the past few weeks the response to our convocation has been excellent. We already have confirmed collectives and groups from Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Spain, England, Scotland, the United States, and now, Argentina.
Compas, in light of the abovementioned, it seems clear to us that the moment has arrived, we must continue to strengthen the national and international movement for the immediate and unconditional release of our political prisoners, Alberto Patishtán Gómez and Francisco Sántiz López.
They are imprisoned undoubtedly for their thoughts, for their convictions. We who fight for justice and the liberation of all those from below, we who share these same thoughts and convictions as our brothers Patishtán and Sántiz López, can wait no more. Let’s bring down the walls of injustice! Let’s unite for their freedom!
As a reminder: We ask that you please let us know as soon as possible if you accept our proposal and will participate in the “Week of Global Struggle for the Liberation of Patishtán and Sántiz López: Bringing Down the Prison Walls.” You may communicate with us via e-mail at:

That’s all for now, compas.
Thank you.
We demand the liberation of Alberto Patishtán Gómez and Francisco Sántiz López!
With Love and Solidarity,
Movement for Justice in El Barrio
