What if * had you arrested? In Oaxaca, Flavio Sosa arrested by

the same "Government" that APPO has been protesting for at least 2 months. I heard it on the radio earlier tonight. They have charged him with all kinds of rubbish; lots of trumped up charges. They are calling APPO, get this, a "terrorist" organization - the brainwashing spreads like wildfire eh. I could not believe it. I haven't even been following this issue closely. I was aware of it but not really involved. Tonight my heart goes out to Flavio Sosa and my prayers as well. I hope you will keep this man in your thoughts too. I was horrified at the thought of him in the hands of the Mexican "authorities" there. I thought it would be like me being arrested by the * Administration. I really hope that he doesn't become a martyr in this cause.

Here's a thread on the news from earlier tonight:

God Bless Flavio Sosa and APPO right now.

as if that "normal" was a good thing.

The propagandists are working overtime on this.

Oaxaca returns to normal after protests

By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ, Associated Press Writer Mon Dec 4, 2:00 PM ET

OAXACA, Mexico - Families stroll along cobblestone streets. City employees plant poinsettias in the tree-covered main square. Children dodge in and out of the crowd in a rowdy game of tag. The southern Mexican city of Oaxaca is visibly returning to normal after six months of protests and clashes that killed at least nine people.

Yet even as teachers whose strike began the unrest return to classrooms and clashes between police and leftist protesters have died down, many residents say the conflict is far from resolved.

Leaders of the Oaxaca People's Assembly, or APPO, the group heading the protests, have vowed to keep pressing for Gov. Ulises Ruiz's resignation and are calling for a "mega-march" Saturday.

And some residents warn that simmering discontent about poverty, injustice and oppression again could erupt into violence at any time.
