Propaganda Corporate Criminals in Oaxaca
A List of US, Canadian and European Corporations Profiting from Death
and Repression in Oaxaca. These US, Canadian and European companies
play a major role in propping up Oaxaca's bloody regime.
November 21st, 2006 - evil writes: These companies do business in
Oaxaca with the corrupt PRI government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz and under
Plan Puebla Panama. They are part of the repression and they need to
be held accountable! They need to divest or face up to the crimes
against humanity and against the people of Oaxaca that they play a
major part in by propping up the corrupt regime of Governor Ulises
Ruiz Ortiz and the PRI. We know the truth. Start hitting these
bastards where it hurts until the killing stops in Oaxaca, for
justice and for Brad.
Please forward this!
Take action locally, December 1-4, 2006!

Subsidiaries:
Rio Tinto's subsidiary Kennecott was fined for illegally mining
uranium in the Loxicha region in southern Mexico's Oaxaca state. Its
license was canceled (in 2001). Under Mexican law, uranium extraction
and processing is the sole prerogative of the state. Kennecott
carried out surface exploration and drilling on three concessions in
Oaxaca, named Elvira I, II and III until October 1999. (unomásuno,

Kennecott Exploration was the subsidiary responsible and continues to
have links with the state government of Oaxaca and Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.
