CNI Members in Chilón, Chiapas are Intimidated With Rifles

By Chiapas Paralelo *Chilón is an indigenous municipality with a Tseltal population, where civilian armed groups operate. The Indigenous Governing Council in Chiapas repudiated the acts of violence and repression of the government and its paramilitary groups against members of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) in the community of Cumbre Nachoj, now known as “Genaro Vázquez,” in Chilón municipality. They pointed out that on June 1, 2021, around 10:10 pm, a group of moto taxis with around 35 people arrived with high-caliber weapons, thereby provoking violence and damages at the headquarters for community meetings –a space of resistance– to intimidate CNI members.
