UPDATE 11/4 9:00AM Two of IMC journalist Brad Will's murderers arrested, seven reporters hurt by PFP | Solidarity demonstrations continue across the globe
On Thursday the Oaxacan people, using rocks, custom-made fireworks launchers and limitless courage, repelled a fierce attack by the Mexican Federal Preventative Forces (PFP) employing chemical weapons on University City, which houses the University Autotonima Benito Juarez and the voice of the struggle, Radio Universidad. The University has become the central location for The Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) since the PFP occupied the zocalo on Sunday. Read more here: 1 2 3
On Friday, about 20 people got out of minivans and shot at Radio Universidad.
In San Diego, protesters with the Oaxaca Solidarity Camp continue to occupy the sidewalk in front of the Mexican Consulate in Little Italy, despite being hassled by SDPD and consulate personnel. On Wednesday, an energetic display of chanting, yelling and percussion rocked the consulate and Little Italy off their foundations. On Thursday, protesters showed films projected onto the Consulate garage door about the Oaxacan People's struggle, as well as the video Indymedia journalist Brad Will was shooting when he was assassinated in Oaxaca last Friday. As if on cue, the garage door opened and the Consul drove out during Will's video. On Friday, energetic chanting accompanied the presence of fox news. A surprisingly high fraction of the people passing by the consulate had some awareness of the situation in Oaxaca. The protesters request your continuing support and help maintaining the Camp.
