November 27th; Following the repression exerted on November 25th the federal police (PFP) has come out with statements declaring that they're patience is exhausted and that they are willing to go all out to put an end to the movement by December 1st. An attack on University City and Radio Universidad is more imminent than ever and the disappearances are multiplying throughout the day, becoming a regular occurrence.

Today at 3pm, during a press conference at the Faculty of Medicine, where three people were murdered on Sunday, a neon red car with four armed men snatched two people (one of them a student Freddy Carmona from the Soriana Barricade) and fired shots at the building. At 4pm 3 more people were disappeared and at 6pm one more. These are only the ones that we know about, there are bound to be many others. 141 people who were detained on Sunday have been moved to Nayarit Prison in the north of the country.

Ulises Ruiz has come out with statements in Mexican newspapers and at a personal appearance at Santa Domingo, where the APPO encampment has been removed by the now occupying PFP, saying that he is blaming young anarchist elements that have come from outside of Oaxaca, specifically Mexico City.

The repression and iron fist of the PFP has reached a new level in Oaxaca as they have also declared that special operations units were now in charge of crushing the rebellion. Some public schools have canceled their classes due to the fear in the streets and many APPO supporters and activists have gone into hiding, including APPO spokesperson Flavio Sosa.
