Esto, por haber observado desde el extranjero los casos de  encarcelamiento injusto de los presos pol\u00edticos Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez,  adherente a La Otra Campa\u00f1a, y Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez, Base de Apoyo  Zapatista desde 1992. Para nosotr@s, las dignas luchas de nuestros  compa\u00f1eros son ocasi\u00f3n de reflexi\u00f3n y de rebeld\u00eda ante un sistema  pol\u00edtico y jur\u00eddico que no  tiene nada que ver con la justicia ni los derechos.<\/p>\n<p>Hemos visto  con dolor, desde las acusaciones falsas hasta las irregularidades  jur\u00eddicas, todos los esfuerzos deshumanizadores del mal gobierno en sus  tres niveles y de sus dirigentes de todos los niveles, tales como el  represor\u00a0presidente Felipe Calder\u00f3n\u00a0y el represor gobernador\u00a0Juan  Sabines,\u00a0contra Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez y Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez. Buscan  borrar el rostro de nuestros compa\u00f1eros para que cesen de ser visibles.  Buscan borrar la palabra de nuestros compa\u00f1eros para que paren de ser  escuchados. Buscan borrar su libertad f\u00edsica para que no luchen m\u00e1s.  Porque es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil enterrar entre las paredes de un calabozo a un  cuerpo que no lleva cara, que no hace ruido, que no tiene vida.<\/p>\n<p>Pero  nosotros seguimos escuch\u00e1ndolos desde lejos, y sus dignos gritos, sus  vidas imprescindibles, nos llaman a que caminemos a su lado para que  sean libres. Nos llaman a  que unamos nuestras fuerzas para tumbar las paredes que los encierran.<\/p>\n<p>El  sistema de prisi\u00f3n constituye parte de la pol\u00edtica racista del sistema  capitalista mundial. Sabemos que no es casualidad que en M\u00e9xico tanto  como aqu\u00ed en los Estados Unidos, las c\u00e1rceles y prisiones se llenan casi  exclusivamente de l@s de abajo \u2013 mujeres y hombres ind\u00edgenas,  migrantes, negros, pobres, latinos, y otr@s grupos marginados \u2013 ya que  s\u00f3lo se pueden beneficiar de esta miseria los verdaderos criminales, las  corporaciones multinacionales y sus lacayos pol\u00edticos. Piensan los de  arriba que a los que luchan hay que aplastarlos y encarcelarlos en  jaulas.<\/p>\n<p>Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez, chiapaneco del municipio El  Bosque nacido el 19 de abril de 1971, fue privado de su libertad el 19  de junio de 2000 de manera arbitraria por crimenes que no comiti\u00f3. Dos  a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s se le sentenci\u00f3 a 60 a\u00f1os de prisi\u00f3n. Cuando esta  injusticia sucedi\u00f3,  Patisht\u00e1n estaba muy activo politicamente en su comunidad y denunci\u00f3 la  corrupci\u00f3n de los pol\u00edticos y instituciones pol\u00edticas.\u00a0A pesar de las  condiciones p\u00e9simas y de sus problemas de salud, el compa\u00f1ero Alberto no  se ha rendido y sigue luchando desde el interior. Conocido como el  Profesor Patisht\u00e1n, Alberto era maestro en una escuela primaria p\u00fablica  en su municipio natal y durante estos \u00faltimos 12 a\u00f1os ha seguido siendo  un luchador ejemplar, para sus dos hijos, para otros presos, y para sus  compa\u00f1eros del mundo. Adherente a La Otra Campa\u00f1a desde que se difundi\u00f3  la Sexta Declaraci\u00f3n de la Selva Lacandona, su digno ejemplo nos ense\u00f1a  que el esp\u00edritu rebelde no se puede contener.<\/p>\n<p>Asimismo, desde  diciembre del 2011, nuestro compa\u00f1ero Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez, Base de  Apoyo Zapatista desde 1992, est\u00e1 encarcelado injustamente por  acusaciones falsas de haber dirigido un enfrentamiento, ocurrido en la  comunidad de Banavil del  municipo de Tenejapa, que result\u00f3 en la muerte de un pri\u00edsta. El  componente racista y pol\u00edtico es obvio, pues como explica la Junta de  Buen Gobierno de Oventic, \u201cLa fabricaci\u00f3n de delitos contra nuestro  compa\u00f1ero viene desde Los Pinos, con el fin de destruir la resistencia  de las comunidades zapatistas; est\u00e1n tratando de impedir a toda costa la  construcci\u00f3n de la autonom\u00eda de los pueblos originarios, es parte del  plan de guerra de baja intensidad contra nuestras comunidades en  resistencia.\u201d Recientemente, el 22 de marzo de este a\u00f1o, nuestro  compa\u00f1ero Francisco estaba a punto de salir de la c\u00e1rcel, cuando se le  acuso de nueva cuenta por otro delito falso. Por eso, sigue siendo preso  pol\u00edtico actualmente, aunque se ha comprobado con testigos que  Francisco S\u00e1ntiz no estaba en el sitio cuando lo ocurrido se di\u00f3.  Igualmente, El Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolom\u00e9 de Las Casas ha  publicado una investigaci\u00f3n se\u00f1alando los nombres de  los responsables del asesinato. Obviamente, la verdad, mucho menos la  justicia, no les importa a las autoridades.<\/p>\n<p>Hemos visto todo  esto pasar con impunidad y arrogancia. Ya es hora de aumentar la presi\u00f3n  y de rebelarnos m\u00e1s ante tantas injusticias. Por ello, de una vez por  todas, les pedimos a que nos unamos tod@s para exigirles a los malos  poderes de M\u00e9xico, en particular el\u00a0represor presidente Felipe Calder\u00f3n y  el\u00a0represor gobernador Juan Sabines, que liberen de inmediato a  nuestros compa\u00f1eros Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez y Francisco Santiz L\u00f3pez.  \u00a0Para eso, con el respaldo de la familia Patisht\u00e1n, les proponemos lo  siguiente:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Que todos junt@s unamos nuestras fuerzas  organizando acciones \u00a0-desde su localidad y con sus diferentes formas de  lucha- como manifestaciones, marchas, actos callejeros informativos,  repartici\u00f3n de volantes, foros p\u00fablicos, teatro, concentraciones  informativas y cualquier otra  actividad para realizar la:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSEMANA DE LUCHA MUNDIAL POR LA LIBERTAD DE PATISHT\u00c1N Y S\u00c1NTIZ L\u00d3PEZ:\u00a0A TUMBAR LAS PAREDES DEL CALABOZO\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Del martes, 15 de mayo al martes, 22 de mayo de este a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>Les  pedimos que por favor nos avisen lo m\u00e1s pronto posible, si aceptan  nuestra propuesta y si participar\u00e1n.

We have observed from afar the cases of unjust  incarceration of the political prisoners: Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez, an  adherent of The Other Campaign, and Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez, member of  the Zapatista Support Base communities since 1992. For us, the dignified  struggles of our compa\u00f1eros are an occasion to reflect and rebel  against a political and legal system that has nothing to do with justice  or  rights.<\/p>\n<p>We have witnessed with much pain all the attempts to  dehumanize Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez and Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez \u2013 from the  false accusations to the legal inconsistencies \u2013 of the bad government  via its three levels and its rulers from every post, such as the  repressor\u00a0Pres. Felipe Calder\u00f3n\u00a0 \u00a0 and the repressor\u00a0Gov. Juan Sabines\u00a0.  They seek to erase the faces of our compa\u00f1eros to make them invisible.  They seek to erase the words of our compa\u00f1eros to silence them. They  seek to eliminate their phyisical freedom so that they cannot fight  anymore. Because it is easier to bury beneath prison walls a human body  that lacks a face, makes no sound, has no life.<\/p>\n<p>But we continue  listening to them from afar, and their dignified cries, their  indispensable lives, call us to walk alongside them to obtain their  freedom. They call on us to unite our forces in order to knock down the  walls that surround them.<br \/>\nThe prison system  constitutes part of the racist politics of the world capitalist system.  We know that it is no coincidence that in Mexico, as well as here in  the United States, the jails and prisons are filled almost exclusively  with those from below \u2013 indigenous, migrants, black, poor, Latino, women  and men, and all marginalized groups \u2013 since only the true criminals  could benefit from this misery: the multinational corporations and their  political lackeys. Those from above believe that people who struggle  must be crushed and encaged.<\/p>\n<p>Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez was born on  April 19, 1971 in the Chiapas municipality of El Bosque. He was  arbitrarily deprived of his freedom on June 19, 2000 for crimes he did  not commit. Two years later he was sentenced to 60 years in prison. When  this injustice took place, Patisht\u00e1n was very active in the political  life of his community. He had been an outspoken critic of the corruption  of politicians and political institutions.  Despite the horrific prison conditions and his health problems, Alberto  has not given up. On the contrary, he continues fighting from inside.  Known as Professor Patisht\u00e1n, Alberto was an elementary teacher at a  local public school and during these past 12 years has continued to be  an exemplary fighter for justice for his two children, other prisoners,  and his compa\u00f1eros from around the world. Adherent to The Other Campaign  since the release of Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle, his  dignified example teaches us that the rebel spirit cannot be contained.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly,  since December 2011, our compa\u00f1ero Fancisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez, member of the  Zapatista Support Base communities since 1992, has been unjustly  incarcerated and falsely charged with having lead a confrontation, which  occurred in the Banavil community of the Tenejapa municipality of  Chiapas, in which a member of the PRI party died. The racist and  political character of this incident is  obvious. As the Zapatista Good Government Council of Oventic explains,  \u201cThe fabrication of crimes against our compa\u00f1ero comes from Los Pinos  [the Mexican presidency], with the end of destroying the resistance of  the zapatista communities; they are trying to impede at any cost the  construction of the autonomy of indigenous peoples, it is part of a  strategy of low-intensity warfare against our communities in  resistance.\u201d Recently, on March 22 of this year, our compa\u00f1ero  Francisco, as he was about to be released, was hit with another  accusation of another false crime. For this reason, he remains at the  moment a political prisoner, despite the fact that witnesses have  corroborated the fact that Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez was not at the site of  the confrontation. Additionally, the Fray Bartolom\u00e9 de Las Casas Human  Rights Center has published a report indicating the names of those  responsible for the murder. Obviously, the truth, much less justice,  means  little to the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen all of this occur with  impunity and arrogance. Now is the time to continue increasing the  pressure and rebel against so many injustices. That said, we ask that we  all join forces, once and for all, to demand that the bad powers of  Mexico, particularly the repressors\u00a0Pres. Felipe Calder\u00f3n and\u00a0Gov. Juan  Sabines, immediately release our compa\u00f1eros Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez and  Francisco S\u00e1ntiz L\u00f3pez. Towards this end, with the support of the  Patisht\u00e1n family, we propose the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0That  together we unite our forces and organize actions \u2013 from our particular  locations and respective forms of struggle \u2013 such as demonstrations,  marches, informative street actions, fliering, public forums, theatre,  teach-ins, and any other activity to realize<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWEEK OF GLOBAL STRUGGLE FOR THE LIBERATION OF PATISHT\u00c1N AND S\u00c1NTIZ L\u00d3PEZ: BRINGING DOWN THE PRISON WALLS\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From  Tuesday, May 15 to Tuesday, May 22 of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Please let us  know as soon as possible if you accept our proposal and will  participate.
