Zapatista Teacher’s Death

Since January 1, 1994 the EZLN Zapatista National Liberation
Army, comprised mostly of indigenous Maya communities, has defied the Mexican
Federal Army by building autonomous municipalities. They have been a model of
good government, governing themselves without federal government manipulating their
decision making.
On may 2nd
the 20 year tense truce, with sporadic deadly confrontations, was shattered
when heavily armed para-military groups financed by the government destroyed a
school and a clinic located inside Zapatista held territory. In the aftermath
they ambushed and killed the teacher and wounded 15 community members.
Saturday
the fallen teacher known as Galeano will be buried and we will hold a commemoration
and protest to let the Mexican government know along with the entire world that
we will not permit the attacks against the Zapatistas or any other indigenous
groups in Mexico.
Zapata Vive, Galeano
Vive, La Lucha Sigue, Sigue, Sigue, Sigue…
Zapata Lives, Galeano Lives, the Struggle Continues…
La Realidad: Dolor y Rabia, Lucha y Liberacion
