S.O.S Colombia. Student Murdered during demo against FTAA in Cali.

S.O.S. to the British friends of the Planet, Justice and Freedom.
We need urgent solidarity! real direct and pacific actions! in order to survive and have the chance of dreaming a better world...

During the demo against the FTAA, the student JHONY SILVA ARANJUREN was killed (shoot death) by the National Police and other students were injured some of them with delicate traumas.
This unaceptable situation clearly shows that the publicised "colombian democracy" doesn´t exist, and on the contrary there is a clear state of terror where anyone opossing the dictates from the government and the "kind" suggestions from the US and the Free Trades Agreements for the Americas, could end up death among impunity and injustice.
This is a call to the British society, at least the conscious ones, the alternatives ones, all those who still belive that a better world can be possible, to demonstrate indignation and to actively protest against this horrible situation that has been repeating itself with the backing of the colombian authorities, and without any explanation to the people and even banning the situation from appearing on telly, radio and papers. There is still detained people from the Universidad del Valle in Cali.
We ask you british friends of the planet to help us as colombians (specially young people) is being exterminated or brainwashed trough the media. We need real direct and pacific actions on solidarity in order to survive and have the chance of dreaming a better world...
RESISTANCE
For our deaths not even one minute of silence but a whole life of combat and resistance!
Es inconcebible que en una protesta por un derecho a un servicio publico basico como el agua potable y donde se reivindicaban consignas en defensa de la soberania nacional y contra el mal llamado tratado de libre comercio(mas bien entiendase mercado impuesto a labrava con ventajas para estados unidos y cesion de soberania de los paises latinoamericanos).
No podemos tolerar que sigan matando estudiantes en las universidades publicas, ni que los crimenes permanezcan impunes, no podemos permitir que sigan matando a la gente en Colombia y haya una total ineficacia de los mecanismos de justicia y un abuso de poder de parte de las autoridades.
todo esto con el beneplacito de un gobierno supuestamente democratico y que aspira a auna reeleccion.
No queremos mas sangre derramada inutilmente, no queremos mas guerra contra la poblacion colombiana.
como se oye en las calles, en los sindicatos, en las universidades, en las organizaciones sociales, en comunidades indigenas en los campos colombianos: !Por nuestros muertos ni un minuto de silecncio toda una vida de combate¡
Todos a manifestarse en contra de la violencia, en contra de la impunidad , en contra del TLC.... a las calles, si callamos hoy mañana podemos ser nosotros los llorados...
Resistencia!!!!
