Meet Javier Sicilia under siege police 28 hours 150 teachers from the leadership of the CNTE in Chiapas! Palma teacher On July 16 evening installed the Permanent Assembly of the Democratic Bloc-CNTE in Chiapas, on-site Technical High School 79 in Chiapas. In recent days, having clinched the electoral process, the government of Chiapas, led by the PRD Juan Sabines unleashed a series of arrests against social activists, including teachers in the direction of the CNTE in Chiapas. July 16 that the state government had arrested three teachers and nine fellow social and peasant movements, one of whom was arrested and disappeared.
After installed the Permanent Assembly State Police laid siege to the 150 professors participating in the meeting, some teachers are members of The Other Campaign. The CNTE declared as hostages by the state to 150 professors. Since then the site has not ceased. At some point most of the 500 police and patrols, participating on the site were replaced by members of armed civilian cars without license plates. On the evening of yesterday again and uniformed police patrols arrived to replace the policemen in plain clothes and their cars without license plates.
There are a tense calm. The government of Juan Sabines agreed to receive a delegation of teachers. The Human Rights Center Fray Bartolome de las Casas observes the facts. It has called for a community building on Tuesday. Throughout the day, despite threats of arrest by the police siege, several organizations Technique presented themselves at 79 to show their solidarity. The Technical
79 is press, however the information blockade is tightened. It is a shame that neither the site nor the hunt after teachers and other social activists are being reported in the media business. So far the only information coming out of the free and alternative media and community radio. From the entrance of Juan Sabines to the Chiapas state government has launched a media counter-insurgency strategy, which is not even allowed to be debated in the media the legitimacy of the causes of the movements, but simply prevents the publication of a single note social movements.
