Mexico: Yes to the Dialog, No to the Repression

June 20, 2016

MexicoFinal (1)The Network of Intellectuals, Artists and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity, condemns the repression being inflicted upon teachers from Mexico for rejecting the neoliberal educational reform recently imposed by the Government. The recent events in Nochixtlán, Oaxaca, in which police attacks left at least 8 teachers dead, 22 disappeared, dozens more wounded and a large number detained, reflects the urgent and imperative need to put an immediate end to these hostilities and the opening of a dialogue, as the education workers have been demanding.

We reject the criminalization of social movements in Mexico, and we demand that the perpetrators and masterminds of the murders of the teachers on Sunday, June 19, 2016, already marked for Mexican History as Bloody Sunday, be held accountable.

We make a call to the international community to say: Yes to a dialogue, NO to the repression.
