Zapotec Indian is kidnapped and imprisoned for defending the integrity of community forests
Coordinator Andina de Organizaciones Indigenas , IOTC, the international community denounced the kidnapping, imprisonment and false accusation of murder committed against the indigenous Zapotec Pablo López Avalos. This new and despicable act of criminalization of indigenous rights he rages against a man who along with their community forest advocates indiscriminate logging. He and other members of their community Aloapam San Isidro (Oaxaca, Mexico have already been jailed previously with other false accusations. We call for international solidarity to achieve their freedom and trial court. The following is the statement released by the Popular Indigenous Council of Oaxaca:
A Peoples of the World.
To the Other Campaign.
environmental organizations.
For the Human Rights Organizations.
Men and women who fight for justice.
with great sadness and anger in the hearts of men and women of the Popular Indigenous Council of Oaxaca "Ricardo Flores Magon" CIPO-RFM, is to announce that our brother Paul Lopez Alaves, who was violently abducted at gunpoint on 15 August by the San Miguel Aloapam paramilitaries in collusion with state police, after touring the various jails of Oaxaca find the day yesterday in the criminal Etla, accused of homicide and attempted homicide.
Pablo Lopez Alaves is a Zapotec Indian, born in the community of San Isidro Aloapam who suffered reprisals for opposing with his people to the forest is felled so that they share common with the municipality of San Miguel Aloapam who along with state and federal PRI administrations through SEMARNAT are destroying the forest and wilderness areas.
worth mentioning that our brother Paul Lopez Alaves in conjunction with the other residents of San Isidro Aloapam have been in constant struggle to defend the forest, the evil governments of José Murat Casab and Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (PRI) they have been hunted down like animals. In 2000 they built the exp. 36/2000 criminal where he and other Paul Lopez Alaves are charged with alleged attack wings communication routes for six years were on bail and in 2006 was proved innocent and is resolved in favor of Pablo Lopez Alaves, the legal process was plagued irregularities including the theft to prosecutors questioning exp. 200/2003 where the robbery was found; San Miguel loggers prevented Aloapam judge and experts performed visual inspection of the course rather than blocked, in that same year failed to keep them in jail and silence them make the exp. 123/2000 which accuse him of alleged assault, dispossession, damage and theft of timber estate to $ 2, 900,000.00 (two million nine hundred thousand dollars) for the flawed process has shown that assault and dispossession that are charged not applicable, record remained open for so many years.
Now again we invent another crime so they do not get out of jail in the record 102/2007 allegedly accused of homicide and attempted homicide. With this aim to intimidate the community to no longer continue to defend their territory as we now know that there are other arrest warrants in this case to fellow residents of San Isidro Aloapam. Today when it was presented to the public prosecutor for his statement on the site were already people in San Miguel Aloapam who made fun of him and took photos to family companion Pablo Lopez Alaves with this intended to intimidate.
While those who defend life in prison loggers, Free paramilitary chiefs are killing trees in places where water sources are found and are also agricultural land, the government does not tell anything by that are protected from current governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz of Oaxaca and also the CONAFOR and SEMARNAT benefiting at the expense of logging.
This is an example of what governments do against the people and communities who organize and defend their rights.
political prisoners, men and women from San Isidro Aloapam all they want is respect for mother earth to no longer be destroyed by loggers and paramilitaries from San Miguel Aloapam and that's where the rains come to the land planting the crop and survival of our indigenous peoples.
Therefore we ask all the audience join in the process and demand the release of our brothers, so it could from their homes to do some action for freedom of political prisoners.
We hold Ulises Ruiz Ortiz and the mayor of San Miguel Aloapam of what happens to the mate Paul and his family.
Santa Lucia del Camino, Oaxaca, on August 17, 2010.
