[icffmaj] Supporters of Mumia Confront John Kerry in Mexico City
Hello again all,
Well, back to John Kerry's visit to Mexico --as I've mentioned before,
we don't think US government officials should be able to visit any city
in the world without hearing about Mumia and other U.S. political
prisoners. When they come here, we often don't know if they see us or
hear us, but this time they definitely did.
As usual, John Kerry's agenda was kept secret until the last minute, but
we found out he was going to be in the Mexico City Zócalo and were able
to deliver a letter to him demanding that the Obama government push for
Mumia's release. Before he got there, we'd tried to give it to a lady
who seemed to be in charge of things, but she refused to receive it.
When he arrived, however, he saw our banner that we'd unfurled in the
middle of a small crowd of onlookers (who'd all been given tiny American
flags to wave) and also saw the letter two of our people were waving at
him. He told the lady to accept it, and she did.

Education was supposedly the major issue of Kerry's talks with
government officials and businessmen this time, but security is always
on the agenda. So we concentrated on that in an article we published on
several independent media sites, "Five Questions for John Kerry",
concentrating on the security-related issues none of these officials
ever address: mass incarceration, ICE detention centers, Guantánamo,
solitary confinement and political prisoners.
