Muralist and long-time collaborator with our organization painting murals in the Zapatista communities of Chiapas, Gustavo Chávez Pavón (Guchepe) talks about a recently unveiled work at Tlatelolco University in Mexico City, an exaltation of social struggles in Mexico and globally.
Five tseltal defenders from San Juan Cancuc are sentenced to 25 years without any evidence of their crime, representative of the rash of what Frayba refers to as the “factory of guilty parties” in Chiapas.
Frayba Human Rights centers calls for precautionary measures for José DÃaz, before the IAHCR. Unjustly detained for over a year and a half, the Zapatista support base suffers a risk to his health and life due to contagion and inhumane condition in detention.
We demand the immediate and unconditional release of José DÃaz!
Within a framework of spiralling violence and continuing militarization in Chiapas that the government refuses to acknowledge, Zapatista communities find themselves caught in the crossfire or direct targets.
Following public criticism of human rights organizations by AMLO, CSOs express their outrage at his remarks and their solidarity with the named organizations, which include Frayba, with whom we have been working in Chiapas for a number of years.
