CONDEMN THE BRUTAL MURDER OF TOMAS MARTINEZ DE LA SIERRA SUR
The International League of Peoples’ Struggles (ILPS) condemns in the strongest possible terms the brutal murder of the Mexican National leader of the Union of Poor Peasants and the Popular Revolutionary Front Tomas Martinez De La Sierra Sur.
The Mexican people will hold the Government of Mexico responsible for this murder and the ILPS demands the immediate resignation of the Government officials responsible for this unspeakable act and that they be brought to justice for the murder.
We also demand that the paramilitary and criminal bodies that operate under the command of Municipal President Genaro Hernandez be immediately disbanded.
The Mexican Government and State must be condemned for this fascist like action and we in ILPS express our solidarity with the people who are continuing to fight for the justice, health and social security for the people.
Long Live the Peoples’ struggles for a better world!
