For Atenco - México

We call the Australian supporters to participate and support the Atenco Campaign Launch. We invite you to walk with us during the May Day rally May 3, to request the freedom of the 13 political prisoners from Atenco, we are meeting at 12:30pm Corner Lygon & Victoria Pde.
Come and support the Atenco people.

A call-out has been made for international action to demand freedom for the 12 political prisoners of Atenco, during the period 3-5th May.

On the 3rd and 4th of May of 2006, the government of Mexico savagely attacked the population of San Salvador Atenco in the state of Mexico. During this military and police attack, two youths were killed, 30 women were raped, and more than 200 people were detained.

The police began the attack when the people organized to stop the violent expulsion of flower vendors from a central square. There are still 13 political prisoners in jail with sentences of up to 112 years.

The community of Atenco has a great history of struggle for a just and dignified life. In 2002, they organized and put a halt to the government’s project to take away their land in order to build an airport.
