LOS ANGELES, October 30, 2006 – Oaxacans living in Los Angeles with friends and family under siege in their hometown staged a protest today outside the Mexican Consulate.
Spokespersons from the local Oaxacan community say they will hold vigils at the consulate throughout the week and are organizing for a large demonstration at the consulate this Thursday Nov 2nd. They are demanding that the state violence against the people of Oaxaca stop immediately and that both sides work toward a peaceful solution to the current crisis in Oaxaca.
