MARCH IN CYBERSPACE...

It is public knowledge that representatives of the EZLN are marching from
San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas to Me'xico City.

The Zapatistas will arrive in the capital on September 12, for that
reason, we call on "civil society" at international level, to join the
march through cyberspace on the 12th supporting the following demands:

_fulfillment of the San Andre's Accords on indigenous rights and culture.

and
_ The demilitarization of Mexico.

On september 12, date that the Zapatistas will arrive in Mexico City, the
Ministry of Public Security is planning to launch into action security
mechanisms combined with military intelligence, and for that reason, we
call on those who will support the cyberspace march, to also condemn the
repressive systems that provoke a hostile environment that does not help
in the establishment of peace.

We request international "civil society" to remain alert about repressive
mechanisms, since through very reliable sources, we know there will be
agents dressed in civilian clothing yet armed, presenting a real danger to
all the participants in this march due to the provocations they might
cause.

The cyberspace march hopes to be part of the activities the "civil
society" will take on as part of opening civilian peaceful spaces where
Mexicans can resolve their own problems.

To all who wish to join us on this march through cyberspace for peace, we
invite to send an e-mail message on September 12th,to the following
addresses:

jornada@condor.dgsca.unam.mx
webadmon@op.presidencia.gob.mx
chiapas@planet.com.mx
