According to the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), “the community of Asunción Nochixtlán, gateway to the Oaxacan Mixteca, was violently attacked by hundreds of elements of the municipal, state and federal police, leaving behind a large number of victims and serious violations of their human rights.
It was 7:00 a.m. when teachers and the civilian population met in support of the teachers’ movement and to promote social reforms that would help improve the conditions of the Mixteca, which was constantly affected.
“Without prior notice of persuasion, they were attacked by a contingent of police forces: 400 federal police, 400 state police and 50 elements of the State Investigation Agency, which had the mission of recovering free movement on federal roads, as part of the ‘Operative Oaxaca’ ordered by the then governor of the State Gabino Cue” affirmed the CNDH.
The demonstrators had to dissolve the blockade and withdrew to the cemetery that was in the direction of the town. It was here that teachers, youth, women and children defended themselves with stones and whatever they had at hand. The confrontation lasted until after 3:00 p.m.
The balance of the clashes between the authorities and the population was eight people dead, 103 injured and 46 affected by exposure to tear gas (of which 35 are minors), according to the Commission.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) on October 19, 2019, stated: “Three years (after the massacre) it is still remembered, there are victims. All of them will be supported. There are things that take time and you know it… Justice takes time but it comes when there is a will”.
