After a number of months of apparent quiet, the mexican government and the murderous governor of Oaxaca, Ulises Ruiz, would have liked nothing better than we forgot about our comrades and their struggle. But we can not forget the political prisoners, the constant harrasment of communities and the murders that death squads have committed and even now continue to carry out. For an update on the situation come along and find out.
