The Death of the University

Director of the University to police: "Leave this place; you are attempting to fight against history"

It's unfolding right now, so it is hard to say what is precisely going on, but the National Police are attacking the University in Oaxaca, trying to destroy the radio station that has been a unifying force for the APPO. The APPO is calling for nonviolent resistance, although there has been rock throwing at the police they are trying to calm it down and resist nonviolently to prevent more deaths. However, it doesn't seem like this is a very unified position. It is hard to follow the translated stream but it seems like a battle. Anyway, here is the indymedia source, which is the most recently updating thing I can find right now.

Just to reiterate, this is like Kent State to the third power. If you are interested in this, you need to be. Please spread the word about this because there is zero coverage in the international news, and even if it all ends today (which it won't), people need to hear about this and remember what happened.
