Los pueblos binnizá (zapoteca), ikoot (huave), ayuuk (mixe), chol, nuntaj+yi (popoluca), nahua, zoque y mestizos de los Estados de Oaxaca, Veracruz, Chiapas y el Df, así como visitantes de países como Italia, Francia y Estados Unidos, y observadores internacionales del grupo de Brigadas de Paz Internacional (PBI), que participamos en la primera sesión del Congreso Nacional Indígena – región Istmo, nos reunimos en esta comunidad zapoteca de Álvaro Obregón, que se encuentra en lucha por la defensa de su territorio contra las empresas eólicas trasnacionales y por la construcción de su autónomia. Fuimos recibidos por los compañeros del cabildo comunitario, el consejo de ancianos y resguardados por la policía comunitaria “Gral. Charis” de esta comunidad, que continúan más firmes que nunca a pesar del constante hostigamiento que han sufrido en los últimos meses por parte de los gobiernos municipal y estatal y los lideres de la COCEI-PRD-PT y del PRI de Juchitán, Oaxaca.

Even at the bottom of the world in New Zealand we have heard the terrible news of the shooting death of our comrade Juan Carlos Gómez Silvano on Friday March 21, 2014 after he was ambushed at the San Jose Chapapuyil crossroad while driving his truck towards the Autonomous Community of Virgen de Dolores, of which he was a founder.
We know that at the time of his murder, Juan Carlos was 22 years old, held the post of Regional Coordinator for the ejido of San Sebastián Bachajón for the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle, and was the father of a six month old baby.
We in New Zealand deplore this cold-blooded assassination, and note that it is yet another example of the sustained campaign of harrassment and murder waged by the army and state preventive police in collusion with corrupt ejido officials Alejandro Moreno Gómez and Samuel Diaz Guzman, and ex-Ejido Commissioner Francisco Guzman Jimenez against the ejido of San Sebastián Bachajón, designed to create division within the community and drive the ejido members of the Sixth from their lands.
