Dear all, we would appreciate your support for wide dissemination.
Thank you very much.

*Eastern State of Mexico, June 28th, 2016.*
*To the peoples of the world:*
*By this means we denounce the cowardly aggression suffered by farmers
Zeferino Ruiz Mendieta, age 89 and his son Sergio Ruiz Garcia 56 years old,
both natives of the Tocuila community, municipality of Texcoco, State of
Mexico, opposing the sale of their land for the construction of the New
Airport megaproject, at the hands of two armed men who entered their home,
who also robbed cash and their land title. Sergio Ruiz was already released
but Don Zeferino remains in serious conditions, at the intensive therapy
unit of the General Guadalupe Victoria Hospital of Texcoco.*
*We condemn the use of the security forces and paramilitary strikers for
control and subjugation of peoples, practice shamefully widespread and
systematically used against the communities, ejidos and native peoples that
defend our territory, natural resources, human rights, historical heritage
and identity throughout the country today.*
*We emphasize that the attempt by the Mexican State to impose the deadly
largest Latin America's mega-project: the corrupt, unnecessary, ecocidal
and unaffordable New Mexico city international airport (NAICM), has already
claimed the lives of 3 people: Enrique Espinosa Juarez in 2002, Alexis
Benhumea Hernández and Javier Cortés Santiago in 2006, they have imprisoned
207, raped women and repressed to entire communities of Atenco and Texcoco.*
*We call upon the international community to demand the three levels of
Government of Mexico to cease harassment and assaults to defenders of life
and of the heritage of Texcoco Lake, as well as punishment to the material
and intellectual authors of this cowardly aggression; and to manifest their
support to the struggle against the New Airport, its Aerotropolis and
complementary works, that attempt against the life of original peoples, of
the Texcoco Lake and all the Valley of Mexico.*
