Attacks on Oaxacan People's Movement Continue With Silencing of Radio La Ley
Oaxaca Closed in Solidarity with APPO
10/1 Update: radio Radio APPO relay

Santa Cruz IMC reporter Bradley wrote on August 29th: "Oaxaca City is almost entirely closed today... I am the only tourist staying at my hostel today... I can't believe I was able to find an internet connection, this one is wireless, since almost every single door in the city is closed and locked.

A MegaMarcha will take place on September 1st starting in the community of San Felipe and ending in the center of Oaxaca City ...the details are being broadcast on the radio, both on AM and FM stations. Oaxacans are calling for (Governor) Ulises Ruiz Ortiz to leave office... The marches, along with today's closure of the city, are demonstrations of the overwhelming unification of Oaxacan civil society. I was told that Oaxaca will be open tomorrow, August 30th."
