THIS IS URGENT, PLEASE SPREAD THIS. Jalisco, November 26th
Elements of the Fuerza Única, Jalisco, detained students of the Escuela Normal Rural de Atequiza as they headed towards the town of La Barca, Jalisco. Right now they are surrounded by nine patrols and they’re demanding them to get off the bus.
"This is getting bad, they already drew their weapons and there is an element that is very aggressive. One of the students asked them if they were like the cops of Iguala, who disappear students, and the police responded, ‘Yes, we are like that’, and that is a direct threat,” says one of the students through his phone.
The normalista, who requested anonymity, said they were going from Atequiza to La Barca to pick up some comrades who had participated in a demonstration with farmers (a protest to put pressure on the goverment for the recent events regarding Ayotzinapa, and the way they neglect resources to their rural schools), but before reaching Ocotlán, a van blocked their way in the highroad.
"They stopped us, got us off the truck and a police started pushing us, threatening us, all while swearing at us. We asked him why they were detaining us if we did nothing illegal." He further added that they have them surrounded while pointing at them with guns and flashlights.
During the call you can hear how the police elements yell at students and try to take their phones to prevent being recorded.

A friend of mine told me they already took 8 girls with them, and that there’s already a bunch of riot elements surrounding the school AND the manifestants of La Barca.
It is worth mentioning that the students of Atequiza belong to the same Student Federation as the missing students from Ayotzinapa. Also, the Fuerza Única Police are elements that just love hiding their badges and getting involved in corruption cases.
This is real, and this is happening right now. The goverment is going after every single rural school and won’t stop until they shut them down, like they’ve been doing since the last century. Around the 30’s, there were 36 Escuelas Rurales Normales, nowadays, there’s only 16.
