A report from Witness for Peace on the multiple issues of justice and human rights in Oaxaca presented to the Caravan for Peace with Justice and Dignity when it visited on Sept. 12.
Witness for Peace: "In an effort to unite the southern half of the country with the movement against the drug war, the Caravan for Peace and Justice with Dignity is currently traveling (from) Mexico City, through seven Mexican states, and Guatemala. While the war on drugs and state repression play out differently in the southern half of the country, many pressing issues threaten the livelihood and security of these communities. The Caravan’s southern tour brings together the voices of those suffering violence in order to develop new peaceful strategies for repairing the social disintegration that is endemic to Mexican society under the militarized drug war."
The MexicoBlog of the CIP Americas Program chronicles and analyzes U.S. and Mexican news reports on the US-backed War on Drugs in Mexico and the struggle in Mexico to strengthen the rule of law, justice and protection of human rights. Relevant political developments in both countries are also covered.
