San Cristóbal de las Casas. The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) released images of vehicles belonging to the Mexican Army, the Chiapas Attorney General’s Office, and state and municipal police from Ocosingo “at the service of Huixtán landowners,” who recently seized a “recovered” piece of land from Zapatista bases.
In a two-and-a-half-minute video released Monday night on the official Enlace Zapatista website, titled “Images for the Farmers’ Morning Conference,” footage of Ocosingo municipal police trucks patrolling near the property was first revealed.
Images then appear of a convoy of five units from the prosecutor’s office and the state police. Two trucks carrying Mexican Army personnel are then seen.
Once all the vehicles have passed, the sign reads: “Serving the farmers of Huixtán. Result?” Immediately afterward, a sign appears next to the wire fence of the property reading: “Private property. Huixtán joint ownership. No entry.”
The Assembly of Collectives of Zapatista Autonomous Governments and the Common Governments denounced on Sunday that, with the support of members of the Federal Army, the Ocosingo police, and the State Attorney General’s Office, residents of Huixtán “burned and destroyed houses” belonging to EZLN support bases and took over a property in the town of Belén, Caracol 8, Dolores Hidalgo.
