November 1st: Concerns about the presence of the PFP (federal "preventive" police) in the area around Oaxaca's Radio Universidadhave heightened, and it is anticipated that a raid and attempt to shut down the station could occur tonight. (English Translation from radio broadcast 1 | 2) The PFP reportedly has received a search warrant to go into the University. The hosts on the radio are calling for people to come out to the station to defend it physically, and to document the actions of the PFP and its supporters. Callers are reporting violent attacks on the people's barricades, as well as detentions. CIPO-RFM, or the Indigenous People's Council of Oaxaca-Ricardo Flores Magon, is concerned that the priistas will try to kick them out of their house tonight. They are asking for people to hold the Mexican government for whatever attacks might occur.

Centro de Medios Libres is reporting that menacing flyers have been distributed in Oaxaca today by the pro-PRI people (priistas) who have worked as paramilitaries against the recent social mobilizations. One of the flyers calls for the arrests of several named protesters. CML says that there is a siege on informatin in Oaxaca, as most of the people's media have been shut down, as well as commercial media. Radio Universidad is reporting invasions by the PFP, and the need for people to bring their cameras and videocameras to get evidence of the destruction. Representatives of the Human Rights Commission are in Oaxaca to take people's testimony about what is happening. Yesterday, Danielsan pointed out that although the PFP had retaken the Zocalo, that was the only area that they controlled-- and they were using the very sleeping bags and other equipment that belonged to the people they had displaced.

At 5pm in Oaxaca, a commemorative mass for Brad Will was held. Press reports out of Mexico indicate the gunmen suspected of murdering New York journalist Brad Will are missing and not in police custody. The Other Campaign marched in support of the people of Oaxaca, against the repression, and for the PFP and governor Ulises Ruiz (URO) to leave. Solidarity protests and vigils have been held all over the world, including in San Jose, on November 1st. At 6pm, the Bound Together is holding a dedication ceremony for its "Anarchism in the Americas" mural. The mural, which now includes a depiction of Brad Will, will be dedicated in his honor.
