Mexico: Zapatistas join Drug War protest http://www.ww4report.com/node/9844

As momentum builds for the May 8 protest against violence and impunity in Mexico, the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) announced its support for the movement started by poet Javier Sicilia. In a communiqué dated April 28, the EZLN leadership declared it would wholeheartedly support the struggle by conducting a silent march of Zapatista base communities in the Chiapas highland city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas on May 7.In a pronouncement signed by the Zapatistas' legendary Subcomandante Marcos, the EZLN said it would terminate the march with readings of statements in Spanish and indigenous languages. The Zapatistas sharply condemned the Mexican government's anti-organized crime strategy as a "psychotic military campaign by Felipe Calderón Hinojosa" that has turned into a "totalitarian argument" for spreading fear across the nation.

The EZLN also urged its supporters in Mexico and throughout the world to support the movement launched by Sicilia and supporters last month, which arose after the poet’s son and companions were murdered in Cuernavaca, Morelos, by an apparent organized crime group.Backed by prominent public figures like Eduardo Gallo, former president of Mexico United against Delinquency, and Malu Garcia, persecuted activist with the anti-femicide group Nuestras Hijas de Regreso a Casa of Ciudad Juárez, Sicilia and friends plan to begin a silent march from Cuernavaca on May 5 and then arrive in Mexico City for a massive rally the following Sunday.
