Subject report of oaxaca
Body: The Mexican daily El Universal reports that after hundreds of officers of the Federal Preventive Police (PFP, the same force largely responsible for the Atenco massacre in May) arrived this afternoon via airplane and stationed themselves outside the city, the Mexican Department of the Interior issued an ultimatum to the movement. The ultimatum demanded that the APPO leave the streets, end its occupation of the downtown area and government buildings and take down all its barricades.

The APPO has rejected the ultimatum, declaring it will continue its protests and barricades until its principal demand is met: the removal of Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. The movement’s leaders put out a call to reinforce the hundreds of barricades around the city.
