As a result of the scandalous sentences announced on August 21 against the activists, victims of the violent days of May 3 – 4, 2006, in San Salvador Atenco, Mexico.
Just women and men from Mexico and the world repudiate the jailing of innocents and demand the government:
– Immediately drop the 67-year sentences against activists Ignacio del Valle, Felipe Álvarez and Héctor Galindo, unjustly sentenced in 2007.
– Immediately drop the 45-year sentence against Ignacio del Valle, unjustly sentenced on August 21, 2008.
– Immediately drop the 31-year, 10-month and 15-day sentences of activists Juan Carlos Estrada Romero, Óscar Hernández Pacheco, Narciso Arellano Hernández, Alejandro Pilón Zacate, Jorge Alberto y Román Adán Ordóñez Romero, Pedro Reyes Flores, Inés Rodolfo Cuéllar Rivera, Édgar Eduardo Morales Reyes and Julio César Espinoza Ramos, unjustly sentenced on August 21, 2008.
– Immediately free all the political prisoners from Atenco.
– Bring to justice the murderers of Alexis Benhumea and Francisco Javier Cortés.
Because we will not surrender!We will not be silenced!
We will not forget!
Down with impunity in Mexico!
