No olvidemos a quienes desde la infancia cargan el pesado yugo de la discriminación. Su vida al ras de la tierra, pasa desapercibida por nuestra vista.

    Exijo que se castiguen a los culpables de esta violencia contra los ciudadanos de Tlapa de Comonfort en la ciudad Tepeyac en Guerrero. Es intolerable el saber que los policías federales atacaron a las familias con armas y gaces lacrimógenos, matando a personas e hiriendo a muchas más. El gobierno es culpable de esta represión altamente violenta y no se tolerará el silencio.

    FEDERAL POLICE FIRES GUNSHUTS AGAINTS THE POPULATION OF TLAPA DE COMONFORT
    Tlapa de Comonfort, Guerrero, México; 7 of June 2015.
    Today during the elections of 7 of June 2015 at 14:30 two police cars with vehicle registration numbers 1699 and 1566 belonging to the Federal Police arrived to the offices of the State Coordinator of State Workers (CETEG). About 24 police officers entered and indiscriminately sieged these offices located in the neighbourhood Tepeyac. The police officers violently arrested a group of men, among them 5 teachers and one minor: Juan Sánchez Gaspar, Pablo Abad Díaz, Julián Ayerdi Chavelas, Raúl Sierra de Jesús, Francisco Ortega Vicente, Ángel Basurto Ortega; as well as 2 women: Agustina Luna Martínez y Herlinda Iturbide Pinzón. They were detained without a proper arrest-warrant.
    In a separated incident, the teacher Juan Sánchez Gaspar was taken away from his home located next to the CETEG building. The Federal Police entered without an arrest –warrant to this building. It is important to highlight that the teacher Juan Sánchez Gaspar is father of the teacher Juan Leuguín Sánchez eaten up with brutality by the Federal Police and by groups of armed thugs presumably paid by diverse political parties. This event happened on Friday 5 of June 2015.
    After these detentions, at least 35 Federal Police officers arrived the neighbourhood Tepeyac in police cars with vehicle registration numbers 16998, 15442 y 17119. They aimed at conducting a search in the offices of CETEG and at taking two cars of this institution.
    People witnessing these events from their windows went out to the streets and demanded police officers to clarify their proceedings. The argument between inhabitants of the nieghborhood Tepeyac and the police officers escalated into a fight insofar as the locals were shocked to witness such arbitrary detentions and irruption to the CETEG offices. Then local people blocked the exit to 35 Federal Police officers and threatened them with impeding their departure until the teachers were set free. Meanwhile the arrested men and women were being transported by air to Mexico City in a helicopter of the Mexican Navy.
    The Federal Police responded at about 15:30 with an enormous force: hundreds of police officers sieged the neighbourhood and its population. The ambience was tense for about two hours. With the mediation of Tlachinollan [a organisation for human rights], people from CETEG and the Federal Police reached an agreement: the detainees by the Federal Police would be transported back to Tlapa and the police officers held by the local population would be allow to leave. The agreement also included the withdrawal of the Federal Police forces 2-3 kilometres back from where they were located in order to prevent further conflict.
    Until 18:30 while waiting for the detained teachers to be transported back to Tlapa, the federal police officers held by local population were taken to the church of the neighbourhood Tepeyac in order to keep them away from other groups operating this neighbourhood. The police fficers were requested to leave behind their nighsticks, shileds and helmets. These police officers were not requested to give up their guns. Inside the church, there were women, youngsters and children witnessing these events. During the process of reaching an agreement, Tlachinollan went to the church in order to assure the safety of the police offices. Tlachinollan also informed the families of the detainees that their relatives would be taken back to Tlapa: they would be taken by air to Chilpancingo first and then from this city by land to Tlapa.
    However, at 20:00 the Federal Police restarted its operations and police forces entered the neighbourhood thus breaking the agreement previously reached between the Federal Government and the CETEG. During this operation, the Federal Police used fire-arms and teargas. The families waiting for news from their relatives entered in panic.
    Some testimonies point out that forces of the National Army – battalion 93 with its headquarters in Tlapa also participated in this operation.
    During this disproportionate operation and according to testimonies of local people, Federal Police officers entered into private houses harassing numerous families of the neighbourhood Tepeyac. They even used tearsgas in these houses. As a result, there are numerous people injured or traumatized.
    So far, we know that there are 4 severely injured persons and one person shot dead. The name of the deceased is Antonio Vivar Díaz who was a student in his final year of the BA in Community Development. He had a specialization in Normative Systems of Indigenous Population from the National Pedagogic University. His son is only 8 months old.
