In June 2007 the Mexican Supreme court stated that federal Law on Radio and TV, passed in March
2006 violates the constitution and principles of equity, competition and democratisation of the
broadcasting spectrum of the country.

Joint Action;- Cencos, AMARC and ARTICLE 19 call on congress to amend the media Law, facilitate emergence and survival of community media

Nueva Agresion en Oaxaca ;- La Guelaguetza Poplar de Oaxaca en Medio del Cerco Policiaco.

The Oaxaca repressions have been covered consistently by Indymedia (Chiapas/Mexico/NYC)
The components of the Protests were APPO , Radio Universidad and IMC/NarcoNews.

These are local radio network links (en espagnol):-

http://chiapas.indymedia.org
http://www.noticias-oax.com.mx

http://www.amarc.org is an independent radio network that is involved in the maintenance
of non-commercial free expression and a contributor to the report mentioned in the
article above.

The women's section is at link:-
http://win.amarc.org/index.phph?p=home&I=en
http://www.isiswomen.org has links to the filipino radio network and women run media
channels.

[Yesterday Denis O Brien reached 45% saturation point with the ownership of commercial
radio outlets countrywide and in the capital, this displays a quite interesting gap in the market
for those not swayed by the BCI ownership issue of our communications infrastructure]

Solidarity!

{BTW , the Irish tourist Board still promotes Oaxaca as a charming neo-colonial town
Irish people who travel there and give money to the businesses have blood on their hands}
