Human Rights Violations Against Oaxaca's APPO Supporters

2007-01-11

The Human Rights Watch Annual Report also criticizes Mexico’s use of military soldiers to perform police duties. Mexico's Interior Secretariat unexpectedly suspended this week's round of negotiations with the Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca (APPO) - but instead made an appointment with the state's embattled governor, Ulises Ruiz. In yesterday's meeting with the Interior Secretary, Ruiz reportedly requested additional federal police in Oaxaca, as organizations calling for his removal recover from a brutal crackdown administered in late November. The APPO has outlined an agenda of mobilizations and activities for the coming weeks. Meanwhile, family members of those still imprisoned during the political conflict have been upping the ante for the release of their loved ones. Vladimir Flores reports from Oaxaca City.
