DESCRIPTION:Last week, a caravan of 30 human rights activists and journalists from 
 Mexico and several European countries attempted to bring essential supplies 
 to San Juan Copala, a remote community that has been blockaded for months 
 by paramilitaries affiliated with the state government.\n \nAs the caravan 
 approached the community it came under attack by paramilitaries firing 
 assault rifles. Beatriz Cariño , beloved leader of CACTUS and mother of 
 two young children was killed as was Tyri Antero Jaakola, a human rights 
 volunteer from Finland. Other members of the caravan fled under fire and 
 some were seriously wounded, others were kidnapped by their assailants and 
 later released as international attention mounted.\n\nWhat we are we are 
 calling for:\n\n• Punishment of those responsible;\n• Guarantees of the 
 safety and the lives of the survivors of the caravan;\n• Halt to attacks 
 on the Autonomous Municipality of San Juan Copala;\n• Withdrawal of the 
 blockade around the municipality;\n• Halt on the activity of paramilitary 
 groups.\n \nThese killings in Oaxaca raise concerns that narco-related 
 violence across Mexico is giving rise to increased violence and impunity in 
 other conflict zones.\nGiven pernicious effect of the Mexican Army 
 throughout the country, we also reject the use of violence as a pretext for 
 militarization of the Triqui Zone.\n \n
