Patishtan

National He is condemned to 60 years of prison Patishtan By: Carlos Damian September 16, 2013 They deny him the freedom for not being blond, the teacher, murder accused said Mexico. - One day after the Judicial Power of the Federation ratified him a 60 year sentence, the teacher Tzotzil Alberto Patishtan Gomez (APG), it reiterated that he won't request the presidential reprieve to be liberated, because it is innocent. "I have always said that I won't appeal to the reprieve because, I don't have to ask for forgiveness; on the contrary, they should ask me for forgiveness for what they have made with me; I only hope justice is made and nothing else", he declared in press conference carried out in the prison of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas". The teacher repeats once and other time that is innocent, and it sustained before the magistrates of the first collegiate tribunal of the twentieth circuit, with headquarters in Tuxtla Gutierrez, they denied him perhaps the liberation for the color, because I am indigenous; perhaps because I am not foreign neither fair-haired to speak other languages, or because I don't have the economic power to make other things". It pointed out that they will appeal international tribunals to achieve their liberation. "Sadly I could say that we should leave Mexico to look for justice, what should not be. We have to go to International Amnesty." Accompanied by their daughter Gabriela Patishtan and their granddaughter Genesis of hardly three months of age, it indicated: "how you’ll know, yesterday we all were hopeful that the authorities demonstrated some justice, but it was not this way but everything or contrary", he asserted. "The magistrates say that it is groundless (the incident of recognition of innocence), and I affirm that I have said my truth, which cannot be groundless, but based on the word of God; I am not lying", the teacher native of El Bosque manifested, located in the north of Chiapas. "I won't stay quiet, I will continue fighting and the truth has to be known some day. I am calm, a indignant a little one by what happened, but here I am tossing you win him to look for the freedom". I will only pray for them (the magistrates), because the criminals are not us. I don't keep him bitterness to any magistrate; if they make it is because they don't have conscience. God willing one day it plays them their hearts and see the things like I want to see them, with a different Mexico, where we are all in peace". As long as, the governor of Chiapas, Manuel Velasco Coello, affirmed that it is “unjust” that the magistrates have denied the liberation to the teacher Tzotzil, and he said that “now the pardon should proceed". APG takes 13 years accused prisoner of qualified homicide and injure damages in other people's property and carrier of forbidden firearms, for its presumed participation in an ambush happened in 2000 in El Bosque, and in the aggression, six state policemen died and one municipal official. We all are Patishtan As case paradigmatic of the situation of social activists that the natives live in Mexico. Civil, academic organizations and social activists exclaimed once and another time, and last night they assured that they will continue in the fight for the teacher's freedom. In the little stair of the Angel of the Independence and in spite of the terror that the government sowed with the operative one to recover the Baseboard of the capital, we come to say that we are angry with the determination of the tribunal. The representatives of the committee for professor's liberation announced that three of their partners travel today to Chiapas to meet with the communities that support him in order to agree the following steps. "They gave us a blow but they didn't bend us". Hector Patishtan, thanked the support of the organizers and he complained that, with its decision, the collegiate tribunal in the capital of Chiapas has condemned to death to its father. Another time “we check that the justice in Mexico just exists for those that come from other places and he has the white skin and the blue eyes, (liberation of Florence Cassez). It is not for the natives", (liberation of Rafel Caro Quintero). The Mexican system of justice is unable and it doesn't have will of correcting the injustices, like it demonstrates the resolution of the tribunal that refused to recognize professor APG'S innocence, it affirmed International Amnesty (IA). With that sentence it noticed the organism; again he shows the vulnerable situation in that they are the inhabitants of indigenous communities and other vulnerable sectors of the society. The obsession to protect the formal image of the system of justice above the obligation of guaranteeing the human rights is one of the most serious obstacles to assure an equitable access to the justice in Mexico, it indicated. For that reason, in accordance with the sentence of the federal tribunal in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, APG will remain imprisoned due to an unjust sentence, in which didn't take into account the heap of irregularities made during the process. Patishtan was jailed and sentenced to 60 years of prison after having been accused of participating in an ambush in which seven policemen were murdered, in 2000. Trinidad del Valle, of the Frente Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra de Atenco, it clarified: "we knew that of good will they won't liberate it; we will act the same as with the partners of Atenco". We are, willing to accompany the family of Patishtan. International amnesty stood out that it could verify anomalies during the trial, as the admission of contradictory testimonies in the accusation that the evidence was ignored regarding that APG was not in the place of the facts. The organization called to the Mexican government to that it takes the necessary measures in order to assure that there is justice in this case and the system of justice is reformed to guarantee quickly and fair processes to all the people, independently of its economic condition and that it belongs to an indigenous group. Neoliberal justice The neoliberal politicians have consisted on diverse forms of reduction of the participation of the governments in the economic life. Among this politicians they are: the reduction of the government expense for the systems of health, education and public housing; the elimination of the economic supports the agriculture, the reorientation of economic supports to the national industry; the partial or total privatization of the big companies property of the State as regards electric power, petroleum, dilutes, and gas; the restriction of the credit for the private sectors that are solvent in the payment; the constant devaluation of the national currency, or in their case the substitution for the dollar; a labor politics that maintains first floor the wages, promotes the labor flexibility and it eliminates the collective contracts of work as much as possible impelling the outsourcing; the abolition of barriers for the foreign, direct or speculative investment; the fiscal reformations that burden the population with general taxes as the IVA and that they limit the collection of taxes on the revenues. All this is part of the neoliberal catechism and it is a map to identify to the neoliberalism. The neoliberal system has a double speech; they proclaim the freedoms of the liberalism, at the time that you/they work for the oligarchy that looks for to conserve their economic and financial privileges. This can be their factor of it breaks. It is twice as much necessary without mask false speech that makes r it is worth all the civic freedoms in their different political, civil, social, cultural and economic dimensions. It is to install a different society and that it is a society whose operation way is not the submission to the pressures of the market and that it has like integrative principle the participation, and the commitment of all the citizens in the reciprocal determination of each phase of its economic lives through the public debate" (Robert Heilbroner) that substitutes the taking of decisions that it imposes the interest peculiar of who they adopt for its position of power political unilateral. The great counterbalance of the neoliberalism is maybe, then, own concept of freedoms. Chomsky.
