against poverty and repression, the people of oaxaca (a mexican city and a state, with 3 million inhabitants) has barricated itself about 3 weeks ago, as a result of years of miserable condictions, and finally the goverment wanting to privatize education.
last i heard there were 20 deaths, including children, a reporter from indymedia new york (brad will), shot while he was filming, and many people arrested and missing, but the state police still can't manage to get in to the city. the people remain united!
there are many images and news about what's going on available on indymedia, but the main stream media is completly ignoring this major revolt from the people and the killings from the state police.
