DESCRIPTION:Alright, people, we know this is some last-minute shit, but we need your  
 support!  This Saturday, the 12th, we're throwing a benefit for the Mexican 
  prisoners still being held in Guadalajara at fucking outrageous ransoms of 
  $6,000-$25,000, all for protesting against the trade discussions they were 
  banned from participating in at the EU-Latin American Summit.  There's  
 been reports in the mainstream media of severe military police repression,  
 and reports from the jails of even worse physical and sexual torture.  As  
 many of you know, the situation in Mexico for student and labor organizers  
 is very grave right now, with several brutal deaths in the past few months  
 of people as young as 17.  Currently, there are 25 people still in prison,  
 all but one of whom have been forced to sign false confessions admitting  
 to everything from property distruction to assaulting officers.  The  
 police are refusing to release their names, but are instead using tactics  
 such as threat of rape, forcing men and women prisoners to stand and  
 exercise naked in front of guards, and continual beating to force  
 prisoners to divulge the identities of local activists and details about  
 their organizing.  One of the women is handcuffed to her bed in the  
 hospital, with severe brain swelling.  All the internationals have been  
 deported, and the families of the 25 have asked for help in freeing their  
 loved ones.  Call the Embassy - Demand Their Release!!!! No State 
 Oppression!!!! 532  Folsom St., San Francisco, CA 94105  Tel: (415)
