Nearly eight months after 4 of the 12 Loxicha political prisoners were allowed to walk free. The violence and the harrassment against poeple in the Loxicha Region of Oaxaca continues.  In spite of murders, arrests, intimidations, and violence, the poeple of Loxicha continue to organize and demand justice.

Please read, take action, and spread the word! As you may know, on February 18, 2010, Juan Manuel Martínez Moreno - the Oaxacan social activist falsely accused of the 2006 murder of Indymedia reporter Brad Will - was released after 16 months in prison. This is an important victory, but Martínez Moreno, his family, and other activists remain at risk. Since his release, Martínez Moreno and his family have been subjected to constant harassment. They have received death threats and the government-linked paramilitaries which eyewitnesses and photographic evidence tie to the murder of Brad Will have frequently been seen standing outside the Martínez Moreno home.

Ocho meses despues de que 4 de los 12 presos politicos de la region Loxicha de Oaxaca fueron puestos en libertad, la violencia y hostigamiento al pueblo Loxicha sigue. Pero a pesar de asesinatos, arrestos, intimidaciones, y violencia el pueblo de Loxicha sigue organizandose para exigir justicia.

To all the people and organizations that wish to act in solidarity with Juan Manuel Martínez Moreno we ask that they spread the following simple and deeply felt news.
