Chiapas
[Chiapas Soldier and Child] The Mexican government has undertaken a campaign of genocide against the indigenous people of Chiapas, in southeast Mexico. Using U.S. trained mercenaries, with U.S. economic and political support, Mexico's federal army terrorizes the people of Chiapas, while the U.S. media turns a blind eye. Human rights violations, torture, rape and murder have been reported by many international observers, community leaders arrested, food supplies contaminated, entire villages destroyed. Please take Subcommander Marcos's tour of Chiapas to learn more about the situation and browse Ejercito Zapatista Liberacion Nacional for current updates of the struggle and to find out what specifically you can do.
