UPDATE: Additional Photos From the Sunday Protest Here
Call to Action Monday Nite and Beyond Here
Luis Cabrera, Mexican Consul in San Diego came to the vigil. His displeasure with the protestors in defense of the people of Oaxaca was apparent. He kept pacing around, talking on his cell phone and conferring with police. At one point he turned to a protestor who was doing nothing except standing there and said in Spanish: "Can you get the fuck out?" To which the anglo protestor answered in Spanish: "Can you get out of Oaxaca?"

The vigil in front of the Mexican Consulate in San Diego on India Street calls for an IMMEDIATE STOP to Mexico's State repression, violence and assasinations in Oaxaca.

Luis Cabrera, consul de México en San Diego vino a la vigilia. Su desagrado con los manifestantes en defensa del pueblo Oaxaqueño era evidente. Se la pasó caminando de un lado para otro, hablando por su teléfono celular y con la policía. A un manifestante que no estaba haciendo nada excepto estar presente el consul volteó y le dijo: "Puedes dejar de joder?" A lo cual el mismo manifestante anglo le contestó con acento pero con buen español: "Puedes dejar de Oaxaca?"

¡OAXAQUEÑOS NO ESTAN SOLOS!

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED

30.10.2006 10:01


if anyone can go out to the solidarity campout and rally any time between now and tomorrow afternoon, it would help so much. a small group of 10-30 people held their ground tonight in the face of serious aggression from the mexican consulate authorities and police, including the police detaining two protesters, handcuffed in their car, threatening to arrest them. fortunately, both of them were released, but the police were eager to show their willingness to use force against people simply holding signs on the *sidewalk*!!!

please come out and if you can bring food or water, that helps. signs help too. and a determination to support the people of oaxaca and oust ulysses ruiz helps a ton also.

OAXACA NO ESTAN SOLOS!
