“I come to accompany the Caravan to demand justice for the victims who have suffered and to demand freedom for Profesor Alberto Patishtan Gómez as a political and conscience prisoner, who is a tzotzil indígena from Chiapas.
I was detained on January 28th 2003, I was in jail for 5 years and 51 days, after a 35 day hunger-strike I was released. I had been accused of murder, however I was later exhonerated and released free of charges”.
