DESCRIPTION:Friends of Brad Will will be gathering in San Francisco on Monday, October 
 27th, on the 2nd anniversary of Brad Will's murder, to remember him and 
 others who died that same day:  Emilio Alfonso Fabian and Eudocia Olivera 
 Diaz. We will be there in solidarity with the people of Oaxaca who continue 
 to struggle and resist. Today is very important due to recent arrests of 
 activists who are now are held captive and charged with the murder of Brad. 
 We will issue a statement of demands to the Mexican Consulate.\n\nPlease 
 join us at the Mexican Consulate, 532 Folsom St, San Francisco at 
 3pm.\nCall 917-991-2415 for more information.\n\nIf you can't make it, 
 please call the Consulate at (415) 354-1700 and e-mail the PGR (Mexico's 
 Federal Attorney General's office) directly at 
 http://www.pgr.gob.mx/Servicios/mail/plantilla.asp?mail=1 and demand that 
 the APPO members who were outrageously arrested for Brad Will's murder be 
 freed and found innocent and that the real murderers, who are government 
 officials and police, be held accountable.\n\nBackground:\nBradley Roland 
 Will, a 36-year-old Indymedia journalist and activist from New York, was 
 killed on October 27th, 2006 while filming unrest in Oaxaca state, where 
 protesters had been fighting for months to oust Gov. Ulises Ruiz for 
 alleged electoral fraud.\n\nWhen Brad was killed, the people photographed 
 (by Brad's own camera) firing guns at the protesters were police, police 
 commanders, and operatives and bodyguards for the PRI party, including 
 Pedro Carmona,  Able Santiago Zarate aka "El Chino," Juan Carlo Soriano aka 
 "El Chapulin," Commander Manuel Aguilar Coello, and Juan 
 Sumano.\n\nHowever, despite reports from the National Commission on Human 
 Rights, and Reporters Without Borders, the government has been ignoring 
 this key evidence and on October 16th, 2008, they arrested innocent APPO 
 activists, including Juan Manuel Martínez Moreno, Hugo Colmenares Leyva, 
 and Octavio Perez Perez.\n\nMeanwhile, the Merida Initiative (aka Plan 
 Mexico) is being negotiated, providing at least $1.6 billion in US 
 armament, training, and resources to the same police and military forces 
 that killed Brad and many other activists and journalists in Oaxaca, 
 Mexico, and Central America under the pretense of stopping 
 narco-trafficking.  Already the weapons have been used in massacres and 
 repression of activists in Morelos and Chiapas.\n\nWe demand that Brad 
 Will's real killers be arrested, that the false charges be dropped, and 
 that rather than funding the forces that killed Brad through Plan Mexico 
 and the corrupt government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, we instead support an end 
 to impunity and work towards justice and freedom for Brad Will and the 
 people of Oaxaca and Mexico.\n\nFor more information, check
