US independent journalist Brad Will<\/em> [see<\/em> NYC Indymedia<\/strong> archive<\/a>] and Mexican schoolteacher Emilio Alfonso Fabi\u00e1n<\/em> are two of the latest victims of state terrorism in Mexico, murdered yesterday<\/a> by paramilitaries acting for Oaxaca Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz<\/em>. In reaction, Subcomandate Insurgente Marcos<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

We know that they killed at least one person. This person that they killed was from the alternative media that are here with us. He didn\u2019t work for the big television news companies and didn\u2019t receive pay. He is like the people who came here with us on the bus, who are carrying the voices of the people from below so that they would be known. Because we already know that the television news companies and newspapers only concern themselves with governmental affairs. And this person was a compa\u00f1ero of the Other Campaign. He also traveled various parts of the country with us, and he was with us when we were in Yucat\u00e1n, taking photos and video of what was happening there. And they shot him and he died. It appears that there is another person dead. The government doesn\u2019t want to take responsibility for what happened. Now they tell us that all of the people of Oaxaca are mobilizing. They aren\u2019t afraid. They are mobilizing to take to the streets and protest this injustice. We are issuing a call to all of the Other Campaign at the national level and to compa\u00f1eros and compa\u00f1eras in other countries to unite and to demand justice for this dead compa\u00f1ero. We are making this call especially to all of the alternative media, and free media here in Mexico and in all the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Narco News Bulletin<\/strong> has an extensive archive on The Other Campaign<\/a><\/strong>, which simple and humble people may like to peruse further. Closer to home, this Tuesday Heriberto Salas, a representative from the People\u2019s Front in Defense of Land<\/strong>, will be speaking at Trades Hall. (Frente del Pueblo en Defensa de La Tierra<\/em> — an organisation which has helped defeat the further imposition of market imperatives (‘neoliberalism’) in Mexico: in one<\/a> case the forced removal of peasant communities in Mexico City in order to make way for the construction of a new airport.)<\/p>\n
