Scott CampbellIn one weekend the government of Oaxaca detained 13 activists and defenders
"Two events occurred this weekend: a protest in Mixtequilla, Oaxaca, and another in the state capital. In both, activists and territorial defenders criticized megaprojects and dispossession: one (the one in the Isthmus) denouncing the imposition of an industrial park for the Interoceanic Corridor. The other, in the capital, against the gentrification that makes life more expensive and displaces the inhabitants who have lived there all their lives.
"In both cases, too, the state government repressed the protests, and even used the National Guard in the Isthmus of Tehuabntepec. The result: 13 activists and defenders arrested for exercising their right to protest."
