Indigenous Zapatista Supporters “Held Hostage” in Chiapas for Opposing Ecotourism Project http://upsidedownworld.org/main/mexico-archives-79/2976-indigenous-zapatista-supporters-held-hostage-in-chiapas-for-opposing-ecotourism-project

This past February 3, approximately 300 state police raided a meeting of indigenous Zapatista supporters in San Sebastian Bachajón, Chiapas, and arrested 117 people. The arrests sparked protests across Mexico and around the world, leading the Chiapas government to release the majority of the prisoners. However, five Tzeltal indigenous men, who are now known as the “Bachajón 5,” remain behind bars.
