En la entrada del templo fueron recibidos por el obispo auxiliar de San Crist\u00f3bal, Enrique D\u00edaz D\u00edaz, quien ofici\u00f3 la misa, acompa\u00f1ado por otros sacerdotes, entre ellos el tzotzil, Marcelo P\u00e9rez, p\u00e1rroco de Simojovel.<\/p>\n \u201cHoy, como en tiempo de Jes\u00fas se encarcela a personas, se les condena, se violan sus derechos, libertades y dignidad\u201d, dijo en la homil\u00eda que fue traducida al tzotzil. \u201cTambi\u00e9n hoy, al m\u00e1s pobre, al m\u00e1s d\u00e9bil, al humilde se le condena aunque sea inocente\u201d, a\u00f1adi\u00f3. \u201cDios est\u00e1 en contra de la manipulaci\u00f3n de las leyes que oprimen al inocente, al peque\u00f1o y al m\u00e1s pobre\u201d, subray\u00f3 D\u00edaz D\u00edaz, quien exigi\u00f3 \u201cuna verdadera justicia\u201d en el caso de Patisht\u00e1n G\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n El Pueblo Creyente manifest\u00f3 que el ind\u00edgena tzotzil, quien est\u00e1 preso en un penal ubicado a unos 20 kil\u00f3metros de esta ciudad, \u201cnunca cometi\u00f3 el delito del que lo acusan; lo \u00fanico que ha hecho es trabajar por su pueblo y colaborar con los que luchan por la verdad y la justicia\u201d, por lo que \u201clo tienen privado de su libertad por cuestiones meramente pol\u00edticas\u201d.<\/p>\n Alberto Patisht\u00e1n fue detenido en junio de 2000 acusado de participar en una emboscada que provoc\u00f3 la muerte de siete polic\u00edas y heridas a dos personas m\u00e1s, en el municipio de El Bosque, en el norte de la entidad, de donde es originario; fue sentenciado a 60 a\u00f1os de prisi\u00f3n, y debido a su activismo ha sido recluido en diferentes reclusorios, incluido el de Guasave, Sinaloa, de donde fue regresado a Chiapas el mes pasado, luego de diez meses de protestas.Catholics demand the freedom of Alberto Patisht\u00e1n Elio Henr\u00edquez, correspondent San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas. <\/strong>Around three thousand members of the local Catholic diocese organization \u201cPueblo Creyente\u201d took part in a peregrination through the streets of this city to demand the “immediate and unconditional” release of indigenous Tzotzil Alberto Patisht\u00e1n Gomez, imprisoned since 2000 and sentenced to 60 years.<\/p>\n “Once more, we are present here as a church in solidarity with our brother Alberto Patisht\u00e1n, to tell him that he is not alone, we won\u2019t give up until he is able to enjoy his freedom, and we insist to the federal and the state governments that in the name of God, we have had enough of all the injustices against indigenous peoples “, Catholics said.<\/p>\n The group demanded a stop to “the sentences full of injustice and suffering that are being committed against” Patisht\u00e1n Gomez, whom they defined as a “political prisoner”.<\/p>\n “We demand his immediate and unconditional release, because he is innocent and has unjustly been imprisoned,” they claimed. They added: “You, federal, state and magistrates that apply justice, must not assume you are more powerful than God or be above the law of God, and whatever you do on this planet will stand before the Heavenly Court.”<\/p>\n With the slogan of “the faithful, defending innocents”, and at the front of the the contingent a placard saying, “The parish of El Bosque demands the release of Patisht\u00e1n Alberto Gomez”, the approximately three thousand Catholics from 10 different parishes located in Tzotzil municipalities in the highlands of Chiapas, began their peregrination at the west entrance of San Cristobal at 10 am.<\/p>\n The Catholics, almost all indigenous, carrying crosses, images of the Virgin of Guadalupe, traditional music and photographs of Alberto, walked for more than an hour to the center of the city and then went to the Cathedral to conclude with a mass. The auxiliary bishop of San Cristobal Enrique Diaz Diaz met them at the entrance of the of the Cathedral and celebrated a Mass, accompanied by other priests, including Tzotzil, Marcelo Perez, pastor of Simojovel.<\/p>\n “Today, as in Jesus’ time people are unfairly jailed, convicted, and their rights, freedom and dignity are breached,” he said in his homily that was translated into Tzotzil. “Also today, the poorest, the weakest, the most humble is convicted even if innocent,” he added. “God is against the manipulation of laws oppressing the innocent, the smallest and the poorest,” said Diaz Diaz, who called for “true justice” in the case of Patisht\u00e1n Gomez.<\/p>\n \u201cPueblo Creyente\u201d declared that the indigenous Tzotzil, who is imprisoned in a penitentiary located about 20 kilometres from the city, “never committed the crime of which he is accused, all he has done is work for his people and work alongside those fighting for truth and justice “, that\u2019s why “he has been deprived of his liberty merely for political reasons. ”<\/p>\n Alberto Patisht\u00e1n was arrested in June 2000 on charges of participating in an ambush that killed seven policemen and injured two others, in the municipality of El Bosque, in the north of the state, his place of origin; he was sentenced to 60 years in prison, due to his activism, has been held in different prisons, including Guasave, Sinaloa, from where he was finally returned to Chiapas last month, after ten months of protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" * Recorrieron las calles de San Cristobal en demanda de la \u201cinmediata e incondicional\u201d puesta en libertad del ind\u00edgena tzotzil.
