The students forced their way into Radio Universidad, which had served as the nerve center for the Oaxaca People's Assembly (APPO). The group led protests last year calling for Gov. Ulises Ruiz to resign, virtually paralyzing the city for months. "This is a peaceful takeover and we're doing it with the rights that we have as university students," said an improvised radio announcer, according to the government news agency Notimex. The students called on others to participate in Tuesday's march to demand the release of APPO leaders who were arrested in December, deflating the movement. They said that on Wednesday they would leave the station and block highways throughout the state. http://www.mexiconews.com.mx/24455.html -- To unsubscribe from this list send a message containing the words unsubscribe chiapas95 (or chiapas95-lite, or chiapas95-english, or chiapas95-espanol) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous messages are available from http://www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/chiapas95.html or gopher to Texas, University of Texas at Austin, Department of Economics, Mailing Lists.
