Live from Oaxaca: Medical Residents Report Paramilitary Threats, Disappearances

Disparos en la Facultad de Medicina de la UABJO: Shots fired at the Autonomous University of Benito Juarez in idyllic Oaxaca, reports La Otra Tele, an online video service run by a senior editor of the La Jornada newspaper, published by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

This man is not a blogger. He is a professional with a back file of reporting behind him that suggests he usually does a credible and complete job.

Which is why I tend to believe him. Especially what with the live on the scene pictures and interviews with the people involved and all.

Medical students and hold a press conference to report that paramilitaries have closed hospitals in the state, where hospital workers had joined the teachers’ strike.

More people “disappeared,” reports La OT.

A member of the UABJO faculty who participated in Radio Universidad, which supports the APPO movement, has been publicly threatened by a commercial radio station controlled by the state government and PRI, which is said to be broadcasting disinformation.

I have an example of disinfo broadcasts on hand which I will subtitle and show to you later.

More later. Must eat with the meninas at Pé na Jaca pra Fora.
