A rough translation of recent events in Mexico from Irene. Streets have been renamed to honour the disappeared. Anybody who can make a better translation from the Spanish to the English is invited to do so.

Posted here is a rough tranlation from the Spanish of Events in Mexico.
It is not the greatest translation. So Underneath is the original Spanish.


English Version (Translation):

we changed names of streets (diaz ordaz echeverria)english
Body: Relatives of disappear demand "justice, not revenge" we give names of victims to streets Echeverria and Diaz Ordaz
Nobody deserves to live in an identified place "with assassins", say to inhabitants of colonies Year of Juárez and the Agrarian Reformation.

Members of the Eureka Committee and the organization Children by the Identity and Justice, against the Forgetfulness and Silence assured that the legal exoneration of the main people in charge of the haltings and clandestine disappearances of the dirty war "will not be unpunished for the society, although the responsible civil employees to apply justice refuse to take them to the jail".

After participating in the recalled of the streets Luis Echeverria and Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, of the colonies Year of Juárez and the Agrarian Reformation, lengthy-disappearing relatives of affirmed that "beyond the rage and the impotence, we are determined to continue fighting to denounce to those who took to so many young people, to make of the street their jail and the society the justice that indicates its responsibility". In a denunciation, that assured is "creative and artistic, to demand justice and nonrevenge", the names of Jose de Jesus Avila González, disappeared the 5 of April of 1974; Delia Cira Moral Lopez, lengthy-disappeared the 22 of October of 1975, and Guillermo Creek Towers, student of assassinated vocacional the 2 of October of 1968, was placed on the signboards before neighbors who supported the action and accompanied the activists, because "nobody deserves to have in its direction the name of an assassin".

Conception Avila, sister of Jose de Jesus and founding member of the Eureka Committee, assured that after granting absolute freedom to Miguel Nazar Haro, "one of the main people in charge of the crimes of lesa humanity committed in the dirty war, we cannot trust that this one or the following administration is going to fulfill justice and to take to the people in charge before the law.

"we are not discouraged, because we never thought that the Special Office of the public prosecutor for Social and Political Movements of the Past had like task of sanctioning the people in charge, when it tried that the own relatives made investigations and contributed all the data". ,

Light on the matter Moral Lopez, sister of Delia Cira and member of Committee 68, affirmed that the freedom of Nazar Haro "is not a newness, when by more than 30 years they have protected the high civil employees responsible for these crimes and have leaves the families of the victims, who still today we demanded its return and the elucidation of its halting".

In the case of Delia, stopped when it was 25 years old, it affirmed: "we never knew nothing of her, because the police terrified to my family during long time doing prospections; we only know that she was lengthy-disappear in the Park of the Deer, without knowing what positions accused it ".

Pavel Ramirez, member of Children by the identity and justice, affirmed: "to those who it was called on to us to follow the fight of our parents is evident that to grant the freedom of Nazar Haro, like it has happened with other high civil employees, is not more than a test to us of the complicity of the State and the cynicism whereupon they try to shelter its impunity and to try that serious violations and crimes of lesa humanity did not incur".
We take off the "names of assassins" and we putt it those who have collaborated to make a bether world for all.


Spanish Version (Original)

Body:  http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2006/10/01/017n1pol.php

Familiares de desaparecidos exigen "justicia, no venganza"
Dan nombres de víctimas a calles Echeverría y Díaz Ordaz

Nadie merece vivir en un lugar "identificado con asesinos", dicen habitantes de colonias Año de Juárez y Reforma Agraria

Integrantes del Comité Eureka y de la organización Hijos por la Identidad y la Justicia, contra el Olvido y el silencio aseguraron que la exoneración jurídica de los principales responsables de las detenciones y desapariciones clandestinas de la guerra sucia "no quedarán impunes para la sociedad, aunque los funcionarios responsables de aplicar la justicia se nieguen a llevarlos a la cárcel".

Tras participar en el renombramiento de las calles Luis Echeverría y Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, de las colonias Año de Juárez y Reforma Agraria, familiares de detenidos-desaparecidos afirmaron que "más allá de la rabia y la impotencia, estamos decididos a seguir luchando para denunciar a quienes se llevaron a tantos jóvenes, para hacer de la calle su cárcel y de la sociedad la justicia que señale su responsabilidad".

En una denuncia, que aseguraron es "creativa y artística, para exigir justicia y no venganza", los nombres de José de Jesús Avila González, desaparecido el 5 de abril de 1974; Delia Cira Morales López, detenida-desaparecida el 22 de octubre de 1975, y Guillermo Rivera Torres, estudiante de vocacional asesinado el 2 de octubre de 1968, fueron colocados sobre los letreros ante vecinos que apoyaron la acción y acompañaron a los activistas, porque "nadie merece tener en su dirección el nombre de un asesino".

Concepción Avila, hermana de José de Jesús e integrante fundadora del Comité Eureka, aseguró que tras otorgar libertad absoluta a Miguel Nazar Haro, "uno de los principales responsables de los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometido en la guerra sucia, no podemos confiar en que ésta o la siguiente administración van a cumplir con la justicia y llevar a los responsables ante la ley.

"No estamos desalentados, porque nunca creímos que la Fiscalía Especial para Movimientos Sociales y Políticos del Pasado tuviera como tarea sancionar a los responsables, cuando pretendía que los propios familiares realizaran investigaciones y aportaran todos los datos".

Al respecto, Luz Morales López, hermana de Delia Cira e integrante del Comité 68, afirmó que la libertad de Nazar Haro "no es una novedad, cuando por más de 30 años han protegido a los altos funcionarios responsables de estos crímenes y han abandona a las familias de las víctimas, que aún hoy exigimos su regreso y el esclarecimiento de su detención".

En el caso de Delia, detenida cuando tenía 25 años, afirmó: "nunca supimos nada de ella, porque la policía aterrorizó a mi familia durante mucho tiempo haciendo cateos; sólo sabemos que fue detenida-desaparecida en el Parque de los Venados, sin conocer de qué cargos la acusaban".

Pavel Ramírez, integrante de Hijos por la identidad y la justicia, afirmó: "a quienes nos tocó seguir la lucha de nuestros padres nos resulta evidente que otorgar la libertad de Nazar Haro, como ha ocurrido con otros altos funcionarios, no es más que una prueba de la complicidad del Estado y el cinismo con que pretenden cobijar su impunidad y pretender que no incurrieron en graves violaciones y crímenes de lesa humanidad". Dijo que impulsarán una jornada nacional para renombrar todas las calles que lleven "nombres de asesinos" y de quienes han colaborado para continuar el círculo perverso de la impunidad.
