SF Protest Of US Military Aid To Mexican Government And Murder Of 43 Students
In San Francisco on December 3, 2014 dozens of people protest US military aid to the Mexican government and the murders of 43 students.
SF Protest Of US Military Aid To Mexican Government And Murder Of 43 Students
Demanding an end to US military assistance to the Mexican government, dozens of human rights activists demanded that the US stop shipping weapons to Mexico and protested the murder of 43 students. The protest took place on December 2, 1014 in 43 cities in he US.
This was a national day of action into the streets to demand the US government to abide by the Leahy Law and to
stop military assistance to the Mexican government, which flagrantly violates human rights with total impunity!
On September 26 and 27 in Iguala, Guerrero, 43 students of the rural teachers school "Raul Isidro Burgos" in the nearby town of Ayotzinapa, were kidnapped by local police officers with the aid of hooded men from the drug cartel "Guerreros Unidos". Another six people, including three more students of Ayotzinapa, were killed. The response of the local, state, and federal authorities has not just been mediocre and inept, but also seemingly complicit. The State’s actions show the level of corruption, incompetence, and disdain of Mexican authorities towards the many thousands of people who have been killed and disappeared. Social protests have erupted throughout Mexico, with massive demonstrations that have sparked a light for hope and justice.
Join us in sending two powerful messages to Mexico: To the people of Mexico, you are not alone. To the Mexican government, the world is watching you. Here in the United States we feel their pain and share their anger. WE ARE TIRED TOO.
