Todo sucede en tzotzil, aqu\u00ed donde Alberto Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez se llama <em>Beto. <\/em>O <em>compa\u00f1ero maestro. <\/em>\u201c<em>Beto, <\/em>aguanta,  que el pueblo se levanta\u201d, gritan sus paisanos pasado el mediod\u00eda, al  iniciar una marcha alrededor de la cabecera municipal. Reunir\u00e1n al menos  un millar de ind\u00edgenas, la mayor\u00eda de este municipio, pero tambi\u00e9n de  San Andr\u00e9s, Simojovel y Huitiup\u00e1n, y hasta de lugares m\u00e1s distantes como  Venustiano Carranza, demandando la liberaci\u00f3n inmediata de su  compa\u00f1ero, hermano, primo, maestro, vecino, encarcelado hace 12 a\u00f1os por  un crimen que todos saben que no cometi\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>La movilizaci\u00f3n exige tambi\u00e9n la liberaci\u00f3n de su <q>hermano zapatista<\/q> Francisco Santiz L\u00f3pez, de Tenejapa, preso hace seis meses en San Crist\u00f3bal de Las Casas <q>por ninguna raz\u00f3n<\/q>.<\/p>\n<p>Las proclamas de la gente, una gran cantidad de mujeres de todas  edades \u2013ancianas muchas, y a\u00fan m\u00e1s las j\u00f3venes estudiantes\u2013, llevan una  carga emotiva cercana al cari\u00f1o. Las consignas rutinarias: <q>Alberto, hermano, el pueblo te da la mano, Alberto, amigo, el pueblo est\u00e1 contigo<\/q>,  adquieren una resonancia literal, como que les sale de dentro a los  ancianos venerables en calz\u00f3n de manta, a las maestras y maestros, a una  vasta parentela de Patishtanes y G\u00f3mez y Ruiz que recorren el pueblo  bajo un sol plomizo pero severo. La gente asoma a las puertas y las  terrazas (abundan aqu\u00ed, pues el paisaje es muy empinado) y mira pasar  con simpat\u00eda o curiosidad ese r\u00edo de gente y sombrillas hermosas de  muchos colores gritando la palabra <q>libertad<\/q>.<\/p>\n<p>Las tal vez 300 personas que iniciaron la marcha en el auditorio  municipal, cuando retornaron al recinto se hab\u00edan convertido en mil. La  caminata llev\u00f3 al frente un carro con sonido y una gran manta con el  rostro de Patisht\u00e1n, y enseguida un grupo de familiares y amigos de los  otros presos pol\u00edticos en Chiapas, adherentes de <em>la otra campa\u00f1a. <\/em>Portaban  carteles con retratos amplificados, fijos en bastidores de cart\u00f3n  corrugado y con un palo para alzarlo, de Rosario D\u00edaz M\u00e9ndez, Pedro  L\u00f3pez Jim\u00e9nez, Juan Collazo Jim\u00e9nez, Alejandro D\u00edaz Santiz, Rosa L\u00f3pez  D\u00edaz y Enrique G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n<p>Tras llenar la multitud el auditorio en el centro del poblado, la  gente se aplaude a s\u00ed misma, contenta de ser tanta. Presiden la  asamblea-mitin familiares mayores del profesor encarcelado ahora en  Guasave, Sinaloa, y hace 12 a\u00f1os privado de su libertad. Desde all\u00e1, \u00e9l  escribi\u00f3 para la ocasi\u00f3n: <q>Los gobiernos mexicanos han querido y  quieren callarme separ\u00e1ndome de mis abogados, amigos y familia, del  injusto traslado, mas en respuesta de esto quiero decir que mientras  exista la injusticia ni muerto puedo callar, porque morir es vivir hacia  los dem\u00e1s. Bien, compa\u00f1eros, tengan mucho \u00e1nimo que no est\u00e1n solos,  sigan adelante, el pueblo los necesita, yo aqu\u00ed orar\u00e9 por ustedes<\/q>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Toman la palabra maestras, madres, antiguas autoridades  ejidales, testificando por su compa\u00f1ero. Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda G\u00f3mez G\u00f3mez proclama  su inocencia y rompe en llanto. La congregaci\u00f3n escucha una grabaci\u00f3n  en tzotzil de Alberto saludando a su pueblo. El maestro Mart\u00edn Ram\u00edrez,  vocero del Movimiento del Pueblo de El Bosque por la libertad del  docente, recordar\u00e1 enseguida que desde el primer momento de su  detenci\u00f3n, en julio de 2000, el pueblo protest\u00f3, se moviliz\u00f3, y tom\u00f3 el  palacio municipal. El gobernador Roberto Albores Guill\u00e9n prometi\u00f3  liberarlo, y en vez de eso fue consignado.<\/p>\n<p>Est\u00e1 claro que la gente se siente ofendida y traicionada, <q>le levantaron falsas acusaciones cuando \u00e9l estaba viendo las necesidades del pueblo<\/q>. Ram\u00edrez levanta un documento y se\u00f1ala: <q>Este fue el delito del compa\u00f1ero, la causa de su encarcelamiento<\/q>.  Y lee una carta fechada el 26 de mayo de 2000, tres semanas antes de la  masacre de polic\u00edas el 12 de junio por la que el profesor purga 60 a\u00f1os  de c\u00e1rcel. Dirigida al mandatario de entonces, decenas de autoridades  ejidales y comunitarias le enumeran de manera contundente los delitos y  malos manejos del gobierno municipal y piden su destituci\u00f3n. <q>Hicieron  una lista con esos nombres para detenerlos a todos, pero al final le  toc\u00f3 s\u00f3lo al compa\u00f1ero. Nos amenazaban con usarla contra los dem\u00e1s si  segu\u00edamos protestando<\/q>.<\/p>\n<p>No han dejado de exigir justicia, y eso ya demuestra mucho aguante;  nadie en el gobierno les hace nunca caso. Ahora apelan al gobernador  Juan Sabines Guerrero, al Presidente de la Rep\u00fablica, a los jueces: <q>\u00bfHasta cu\u00e1ndo nos van a escuchar? \u00bfNo se dan cuenta que la protesta ya es a nivel mundial?<\/q> Se disponen a marchar a la ciudad de M\u00e9xico en las pr\u00f3ximas semanas para llevaral gobierno federal su demanda de <q>salud, traslado y libertad<\/q> para Patisht\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>Dentro de la semana mundial por su libertad y la de Santiz L\u00f3pez,  este acto no es el \u00fanico. Se han realizado, o lo ser\u00e1n este fin de  semana, acciones y movilizaciones en Suiza, Italia, Alemania, Nueva  Zelanda y Holanda. Colectivos de esas naciones se han sumado a los de  Gran Breta\u00f1a, Estados Unidos, Francia, Espa\u00f1a, Canad\u00e1, Sud\u00e1frica,  Argentina, el Movimiento Sin Tierra (MST) de Brasil, y en las ciudades  de M\u00e9xico y Oaxaca.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--:--><!--:en-->** They also demand the release of Francisco Santiz L\u00f3pez, Zapatista support base<\/p>\n<div>** They ask: Don\u2019t they realize that the protest is now worldwide?

At least a thousand indigenous join together, the majority from this municipality, but also from San Andr\u00e9s, Simojovel and Huitiup\u00e1n, and even from more distant places like Venustiano Carranza, demanding immediate freedom for their compa\u00f1ero, brother, cousin, teacher, neighbor, incarcerated 12 year ago for a crime that everyone knows he did not commit.<\/div>\n<div>The mobilization also demands the liberation of their \u201cZapatista brother\u201d Francisco Santiz L\u00f3pez, from Tenejapa, a prisoner since six months ago in San Crist\u00f3bal de Las Casas \u201cfor no reason.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The announcements from the people, a large number of women of all ages \u2013many older women, and even young students\u2013, have an emotional charge close to affection. The routine chants: \u201cAlberto, brother, the people shake your hand, Alberto, friend, the people are with you,\u201d acquire a literal resonance, like what comes from inside the venerable elders in trousers (made) from a blanket, the teachers, a vast family of Patisht\u00e1ns and G\u00f3mez and Ruiz that walk through the town under a grey but severe sun. The people begin to appear at doors and terraces (they abound here, because the landscape is very high) and look at that river of people passing with sympathy or curiosity and pretty umbrellas of many colors shouting the word \u201cfreedom.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The perhaps 300 persons that started the march in the municipal auditorium, when they returned to the enclosure had been converted into a thousand. The march had a car in front with sound and a big banner with Patisht\u00e1n\u2019s face, and followed by a group of family and friends of the other political prisoners in Chiapas, adherents of the<em> Other Campaign. <\/em>They carry signs with enlarged portraits, set in corrugated cardboard frames and with a stick to raise it up, of Rosario D\u00edaz M\u00e9ndez, Pedro L\u00f3pez Jim\u00e9nez, Juan Collazo Jim\u00e9nez, Alejandro D\u00edaz Santiz, Rosa L\u00f3pez D\u00edaz and Enrique G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/div>\n<div>After the crowd fills the auditorium in the town\u2019s center, the people applaud themselves, happy with being so many. Elderly relatives of the professor, now incarcerated in Guasave, Sinaloa, and deprived of his freedom for 12 years, preside over the assembly\/meeting. From there (Sinaloa), he wrote for the occasion: \u201cThe Mexican governments have wanted and still want to shut me up by separating me from my lawyers, friends and family, with the unjust transfer, more in response to this I want to say that while injustice exists not even death can shut me up, because dying is living near the others. Good, compa\u00f1eros, have much spirit that you are not alone, continue forward, the people need you, I will pray for you here.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Teachers, mothers, old ejido authorities speak, testifying for their compa\u00f1ero. Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda G\u00f3mez G\u00f3mez proclaims his innocence and breaks into tears. The congregation listens to a recording in Tzotzil of Alberto greeting his people. The teacher Mart\u00edn Ram\u00edrez, spokesperson for the El Bosque People\u2019s Movement (Movimiento del Pueblo de El Bosque) for the teacher\u2019s freedom, would next remember that from the first moment of his detention, in July 2000, the people protested, mobilized, and took over the municipal palace. Governor Roberto Albores Guill\u00e9n promised to free him, and instead of that he was sentenced.<\/div>\n<div>It\u2019s clear that the people feel offended and betrayed, \u201cthey made false accusations when he was seeing the people\u2019s needs.\u201d Ram\u00edrez holds up a document and points: \u201cThis was the compa\u00f1ero\u2019s crime, the cause of his incarceration.\u201d And he reads a letter dated May 26, 2000, three weeks before the police massacre on June 12 for which the professor is condemned to serve 60 years in prison. Directed to the then governor, dozens of ejido and community authorities enumerate resoundingly the crimes and bad management of the municipal government and ask for its removal. \u201cThey made a list of those names to detain everyone, but in the end it only touched the compa\u00f1ero. They threatened us with using it against the rest if we continued protesting.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>They have not stopped demanding justice, and that ya demonstrates a lot of endurance; no one in the government ever pays attention. Now they appeal to Governor Juan Sabines Guerrero, to the President of the Republic, to the judges: \u201cWhen are you going to listen? Don\u2019t you realize that the protest is now on a worldwide level?\u201d They are willing to march to Mexico City within the coming weeks to take their demand for Pathisht\u00e1n\u2019s \u201chealth, move and freedom\u201d to the federal government.<\/div>\n<div>Within the worldwide week for his freedom and that of Santiz L\u00f3pez, this act is not the only one. Actions and mobilizations have been or will be carried out this weekend in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, New Zealand and Holland. Collectives from those nations have been added to those of Great Britain, the United States, France, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Argentina, the Sin Tierra (Landless) Movement (MST) of Brazil, and in Mexico City and Oaxaca.<\/div>\n<div>________________________________________________<\/div>\n<div>Originally Published in Spanish by La Jornada<\/div>\n<div>Saturday, May 19, 2012<\/div>\n<div>En espa\u00f1ol: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jornada.unam.mx\/2012\/05\/19\/politica\/018n1pol\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.jornada.unam.mx\/2012\/05\/19\/politica\/018n1pol<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>English translation by the Chiapas Support Committee for the:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>International Zapatista Translation Service, a collaboration of the:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Chiapas Support Committee, Oakland, California<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Wellington Zapatista Support Group<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>UK Zapatista Solidarity Network<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.jornada.unam.mx\/2012\/05\/19\/index.php?section=politica&amp;article=018n1pol * Demandan tambi\u00e9n la excarcelaci\u00f3n de Francisco Santiz L\u00f3pez, base de apoyo zapatista * \u00bfNo se dan cuenta que la protesta ya es mundial?, cuestionan; crecen acciones en otras partes Unas mil personas, la mayor\u00eda ind\u00edgenas tzotziles del municipio de El Bosque, en Chiapas, marcharon ayer para exigir la libertad del maestro Alberto Patisht\u00e1n [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[183],"tags":[512,508,37],"class_list":["post-5961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-a-tumbar-las-paredes-del-calabozo","tag-francisco-santiz","tag-presos-politicos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5961\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
