Final Straw: A Conversation with Bruno Renero-Hannan about Political Imprisonment and Indigenous Resistance in Oaxaca

Listen and Download Here

This week William got the chance to speak to Bruno Renero-Hannan, who is an anarchist historical anthropologist from Mexico City, about their solidarity work around two of the original 250 Loxicha Prisoners in the state of Oaxaca.

This rebellion and imprisonment occurred almost simultaneously to the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas in the mid-late 90s with very different results. We talk about the long and complex history of this case, the similarities and differences between this uprising and that of the Zapatistas, the ongoing political repression of Alvaro Ramirez and Abraham Ramirez, and the economic solidarity push being organized by our guest, as well as some stark parallels between this case and that of the remaining 59 J20 defendants.
