Message from the Political Prisoners of Atenco in the La Palma Maximum Security Prison

By Prisoners of Atenco
Writing from the Santiaguito Prison

October 17, 2006

To all of the compañeros, brothers and sisters who follow the path, the same path that perhaps that led us to this place: fighting for justice and for liberty. We know the price for not selling out our dignity is repression through slander, through persecution, through incarceration. And we know perfectly well that although we do not know each other physically, we know each other spiritually; that our main cause is to end this system that constantly attacks us. But we have to overcome our challenges, joining our similarities in the fight for justice and freedom of our country in every aspect. We recognize the other struggles that have emerged throughout our country and the continent, and they strengthen us. This sets an example of the dignity and courage. We have to resist, but this fight has to be active and conscious and be decisive on the part of everyone.

Long live the struggle of the people!
Long live the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca!
Long live the Other Campaign!

From the bottom of our heart, we send a combative greeting to all of our brothers and sisters, to that “new blood” that is the students, to our indigenous brothers and sisters, to all of the country that has followed the path of a dignified and decent life.

We are not a project and we do not agree to being a commodity that you can buy or sell or make deals with.
