Urban Paramilitaries Provoke and Attack a Youth March

Today, January 15th, 2007, before the beginning of a youth march for the liberation of political prisoners, Urban Paramilitaries (porros) have initiated a series of provocations to defame the social movement. Known urban paramilitaries (identified as Aladin and Crusty) have occupied and burned at least two buses to provoke violence before the march, and other urban paramilitaries have began to open fire at UABJO (Benito Juarez Autonomous University of Oaxaca). Students are being force out of classrooms and clashes have ensued. The youth march is scheduled for 4 pm and is beginning to get together. Students and organizers are concerned for their safety, seeing as how these tactics of provocation always lead to violence in peaceful actions. Please post widely and remain vigilant.

Fwiw, I spread the news about that one on my blog after seeing this on yours. Hopefully one of my five readers will find it of value.

Don't forget about Chiapas too, and Guerrero, where the US based International Peace Brigade is escorting protesters and political activists at risk od assasination.
