Remember back in 2006 when indy media reporter Brad Will was killed at protests down in Oaxaca?
Here is a clip the now famous video:
Well, people have finally been charged in his murder–unfortunatly, it appears that the people charged are probably the wrong people.

As you see in the video, which you’ve shown today, which Brad filmed, and his camera was still running as people carry him away, he falls, and immediately all the people around him rush to help him. They rush to pick him up and carry him to safety. Coming around the corner, many newspaper photographers then took pictures of the witnesses who were trying to resuscitate him and then who rushed him off to the hospital. Those very people who risked their lives to pick him up and to carry him to safety, the Mexican government is now saying those are the ones who shot and killed him, instead of the paramilitary forces down the street who had been shooting at people all day, whose photographs have been published in the national and international press with them pointing their guns straight at the camera.

So much attention has been focused on what’s been going down in Mexico City with the presidential election chaos that protests and deaths in Oaxaca, Mexico are being ignored by the mainstream media. Every year since 1980 union members of the state teaching profession; Section 22 of the National Syndicate for Education Workers, have taken to the streets. They grew into the thousands and were joined by a wider sector of the Oaxacan social justice movement, specifically Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca (APPO) all demanding an improvement to wages and rural education facilities. Additionally there have been calls to oust Oaxaca’s widely unpopular head of state, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, accused of electoral fraud and state-initiated repression.
