Testimony of a detained Oaxaqueño November 9th, 2006 Planton de Santo Domingo, Ciudad de Oaxaca Can you tell me about your detention? On November 2nd, the PFP (Federal Police) carried out an operative to do away with the barricade Cinco Señores, protecting the University. That day, I was running an errand for my father. The disturbances were visible from afar. When I finished the errand, I came closer to the barricade to see what was happening. Suddenly, then, the PFP came and, without a word, without an arrest warrant, and without witnesses, they detained me very violently.
