The situation tonight in Oaxaca, Mexico

it had been taken over by the women of Oaxaca (oaxaqueñas), and
shootings in which a "compa" (comrade) was wounded and others had been disappeared.
The popular movement is exceeding anything that I could imagine and the people´s solidarity literally feeds the movement and now people are coming down from the mountains outside the city, as a result of the latest events, to reinforce the
resistance in the capital.
There are multiple alarms abot the imminent eviction (of the pickets in the main square) and the situation is one of uncertainty.
Already various compas have been killed and an increase in repression is expected for this week.
I don't want to be an alarmist, but I do ask you to pay attention to what is happening here as far as you are able to and raise your voices before any possible violations.
It is said there is a possibility that tonight the hostilities will continue and increase.
