A solidarity caravan headed to the autonomous municipality of San Juan Copala, Oaxaca, was attacked as it passed through La Sabana, a town controlled by UBISORT, a paramilitary organization that is allied with the ruling Institutional Revolution Party (PRI).  One young woman managed to make it to a hospital where she is being treated.  She reports that there are 15 wounded people.  Alberta Cariño, the director of the community radio organization CACTUS, is reported as disappeared.  No one saw what happened to her, but she is among neither the wounded nor the uninjured.

The Puebla-based human rights organization Nodo de Derechos Humanos reports that the Oaxacan State Police who are in the area refuse to rescue the wounded “because they don’t have orders to do so from the State.”  Nodo reports that the UBISORT paramilitaries have the area sealed off.  Another source confirms that no one can leave or enter the area.
