Two dead, four missing and several injured after attack on the Peace Caravan
On 27 April he was attacked the caravan of peace and observation human rights that led into the Municipality of San Juan Copala in the State of Oaxaca. Around 11:30 hrs. this caravan left Huajuapan de Leon. Around 16:00 hrs. shortly after passing through the center of the town of La Sabana the three vehicles that made up the convoy came to a bend where the road was blocked by two lines of stones. At that time the caravan was about to interrupt their journey and return, and was at that moment when the shooting began from the slope of a hill. Immediately after the attackers, carrying rifles and pistols, and dressed in green camouflage pants, army boots and his face covered, went down the hill without interrupting the attack.
When the attackers reloaded their weapons, some observers out of the van. Shortly after the attackers fell to observers who were still in the car asking "Where's the fucking Omar?". Some of the survivors, the paramilitary group forced them to hike pointers and threatening to others were kneeling for questioning about his relationship with Omar Esparza and CACTUS.
The paramilitary group denied access to the area to rescue the wounded and the dead, while the State Police remained inactive for "no indications State Government. " It was not until April 28 at 9:00 pm, 18 hours after the fact, that the State Investigation Agency entered the scene. During the day there were contradictory versions from unofficial Federal and State Government, as the former Alberta Darling indicated that he was serious but alive and the second had died. It was not until 13:00 hrs that day when the Oaxaca state government confirmed the killing of Alberta Darling Trujillo Center for Community Support Working Together (CACTUS) and Antero Jyri Jaakkola, observer from Finland.
About 15:00 hrs. the bodies arrived at the Amphitheatre Huajuapan Leon and several hours later came the Forensic Services Team. In this site and family organizations came together with representatives of the Embassy of Finland. Alberta Darling's body had a gunshot blast to the back of the head. Jyri Jaakkola's body had two hits in the back and one on the left side of the head. In these moments are missing Noé Bautista and David Venegas, members of VOCAL, Ericka Ramirez and David Cilia of the journal Contralínea.
This brutal attack on a humanitarian convoy evidence of the impunity enjoyed by groups like the Social Welfare Union Triqui Region (UBISORT) under shelter from the Government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. The only solution for the region are civil actions to rebuild social ties, not paramilitarization not militarization.
demand the live presentation of the disappeared.
demand the punishment of those responsible for the murder of Alberta Darling and Jyri Jaakkola.
safety demand for Omar Esparza, relatives of Alberta Darling and CACTUS
Stop paramilitary violence in the region Triqui!
