REPRESSION IN MEXICO
In Guadalajara, Mexico, violent repression occurred during protests against the Latin American-European Union Summit on May 26th-29th 2004. Activists were protesting about the meetings of an exclusive group of heads of state who do not represent the needs of their communities, who are signing agreements that will increase poverty and exploit resources and labor.
28th of May 2004 global justice activists demanding public participation and debate over development policies, were brutally beaten, gassed and arrested. The majority of arrests were made after the confrontation had ended, as protesters tried to reach a safe place.
120 people were arrested and suffered torture and abuse in jail.
8 foreing protesters were deported.
49 people with charges
4 still in prison
