Español: voy a tratar
de conseguir información en
español de Alex Halkin
(Chiapas Media Project) que está
en Oaxaca e informa que
el ejército está a punto de entrar a la ciudad armados hasta los
dientes. La gente está en la calle y la situación puede facilmente resultar en un terrible derramamiento de sangre.
Sasha Costanza-Chock me contó hace dos días que Brad Will, un periodista de Indymedia fue asesinado en Oaxaca. Más información
en el portal de Indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml)

As many of you know I have been living
in Oaxaca, Mexico for the last 2 months. Below
is a press release that I sent out to many of you yesterday. Right now Federal
forces are moving into the city. They have humvees, water tanks, helicopters
etc. People are going into the streets to support barricades that have been set
up to block the entrance of these forces. This is a situation that has the
possibility to create many deaths today. I am asking you to contact Fox and Abascal (info. listed below) and demand the immediate
withdrawal of these troops. I myself am safe working out of a friend's house
that has phone and internet. I will be on the internet continually.
Thanks for your support--
