Showdown in Oaxaca

Filed under: Police, Repression, Southern Mexico, Video

On June 19th, federal police in Mexico opened fire on a highway blockade in Nochixtlan, Oaxaca, killing nine people and injuring over a dozen. This attack was aimed at crushing a nationwide teachers strike, but has instead emboldened the participants, and increased popular support for their struggle.
