On Saturday, November 15, around 12 o’clock
outside the Che Guevara Auditorium of the UNAM School of Philosophy and
Letters, in Ciudad Universitaria, a group of plainclothes police officers were
photographing compañeros who work there. Faced with the compañeros’
questioning, the police responded by shooting at them, leaving compañero Miguel
Ángel Ordaz San Agustín wounded with a bullet in one leg.
Our compañero is an alumnus with a History degree
from that institution, in addition to studying a second degree in Latin
American Studies and being part of academic research projects which are
developed in the Center for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean
(CIALC).
We denounce these acts as part of the systemic
repression of the Mexico City Government lead by the mediocre jailer Miguel
Ángel Mancera against autonomous and self-managed spaces, we hold him and the
supposed Attorney General of Mexico City, the oaf Rodolfo Fernando Ríos de la
Garza, responsible for these and for any aggressions against our compañer@s.
We condemn the State’s politics of violence
against those who organize from below. The paid media’s cynicism surely will
hide this cowardice and will continue lying, from their arena of deception,
with their campaign of hatred against the youth and students who raise their
voice against the crime which misgoverns us.
As the Network against Repression and for
Solidarity, we unconditionally reiterate all our solidarity with our compañero Miguel
Ángel Ordaz.
In the face of this politics of extermination, we
here below will continue responding with organized rage.
If
they touch one of us they touch all of us!
Police
out of UNAM!
Yes
to self-managed student spaces!
Against
plunder and repression: Solidarity!
Red contra la Represión y por
la Solidaridad
