From: "reg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Peoples War] ATTACKS IN CHIAPAS from the Oread Daily ATTACKS IN CHIAPAS ATTACKS IN CHIAPAS Members of the Regional Organization of Coffee Cultivators (ROCC) attacked two villages located in Zapitista controlled areas over the weekend. They smashed windows, threatened citizens with machetes and blocked the highway. The attack, which authorities in Che Guevara claimed was organized by leaders from the Democratic Revolution Party, destroyed a mural in the central square, ransacked a general store and blocked the main highway so that police reinforcements couldn't arrive. A smaller group of Ocosingo coffee workers threw stones and threatened locals in the nearby rebel town of Moises Gandhi. Democratic Revolution party leaders helped organize both protests in an attempt to undermine the support for Zapatista rebels, said Abilino Arcos, a spokesman for police in Che Guevara. These are not the first acts of violence reported in Chiapas recently. Supporters of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) have accused roaming, armed militants from of the former-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of destroying property and threatening residents in the community of San Manuel in the Ocosingo region. Residents have reported two attacks in the last month by a group of armed PRI supporters.
