Compañeros, compañeras, compañeroas I send you a combative greeting from my place of struggle and resistance.
From this CERSS Prison #10 in Comitán, Chiapas, the organization Vineketik en Resistencia stands in solidarity with the comrade Fidencio Aldama of the Yaqui Tribe, from the state of Sonora. We demand his release since his detention is arbitrary and unjust. His only crime is his resistance and fight for life while opposing a gas pipeline of the capitalist patriarchy.
As we know governments and companies are only interested in profits and not eliminating contamination or measuring the consequences it will bring to Mother Earth and to indigenous peoples. The government strategy is to intimidate through repression, imprisonment and forced disappearances. They kill all those who conscientiously fight for life and rights and who resist selling their dignity.
That is why we tell the comrades that “you are not alone” and that there are many of us who are outraged at the injustices of bad repressive governments.
I call on all civil organizations and conscience people of Mexico to stand in solidarity with our comrade Fidencio and demand his release.
Together and organized, we will break down the prison walls.
Free Fidencio Aldama Pérez!
Solidarity with the Yaqui people!
Sincerely,
