In 2006 only, the Atenco people and zapatista supporters were detained, killed, raped and tortured by local, state and federal police; the Oaxaca teachers, general population and independent journalists were repressed,detained, tortured and the Mexican social and political situation and participate to prevent future human rights abuses and demand democracy, peace and justice with dignity for all mexican social movements from the left and from below.

The MEXICO SOLIDARITY NETWORK will be featuring a panel composed of a journalist/activist, an academic-activist and a well-known academic and political analyst, who will be speaking about the current Mexican political climate and contemporary social struggles for self-determination.
