"TO BE FULFILLED 4 YEARS OF MURDER vile and cowardly PEER AND MAURITIUS JEROME TUGRI MENDEZ RODRIGUEZ, THE PEOPLE STILL STANDING UP FOR JUSTICE"
In memory of the martyrs: February 4 10:00 Am; Press Conference, Judicial City, David Chiriqui. Vigil in San Felix, Chiriqui at 6:00 PM. Demonstrations on Feb. 5, Convener: FRENADESO, chapter Ngäbe Bukle.
The Ngäbe Bukle and peasants, is fighting for centuries for their territories, regions, resources, and cultural and social rights. In most cases the State's response has been repression against the legitimate demands of our people. Such was the case which happened on February 5, 2012; without overlooking that were repressions during the years 2011 and 2012, in which our people demanded the suspension of all activities related to mining and hydroelectric. The response then and now fugitive Ricardo Martinelli, and processed Raul Mulino, Gustavo Pérez (espionage) and the directors of the National Police, SENAN and SENAFRONT, led at the time by Frank Abrego now retired, immediately hired at the Chancellery and decorated for his actions by the government panameñista Varela, it was of repression and death. On that occasion, on February 5, was killed by members of the National Police mate Jerome Rodriguez Tugrí in San Felix, Chiriqui and February 7, falls Mauricio Mendez, in Las Lomas de Chiriqui, shot at close range by a riot police. Were evident repeated violations of human rights as cutting telephone communications and light, repression by air and land, carnal violations committed by elements of the national police, torture made during arrests and lies which He earned the government to justify its bloody repression.
Today some of these criminals, instigators of these crimes are investigated or are detained but not for crimes against humanity committed during the government of Ricardo Martinelli, because cases of killings in Changuinola (2010) and the region Ngabe Bukle (2012) and Columbus, by the military forces of the State, today remain unpunished, there is no investigation and no one stopped, checking so that the state or judicial system conceals these crimes, it is for this reason that our people still demanding justice and prison for the material and intellectual authors of these crimes of state.
Varela's government has overlooked such cases of violations of human rights and against the people's demands for justice; it has co-opted alleged leaders of the region, giving the government a member of the coordinator, the Cacica of 537 Martinelli period, it increased the wage to $ 2000.00, plus other perks and appointed him a son in the embassy of Bolivia and the other chiefs will increase their wages; all with the purpose of quieting the demands of justice for our people.
We took the opportunity to denounce abuses by the company Minera Panama, against communities Ngabe Bukle in Donoso, by imposing a siege of hunger, without laws and Panamanian authorities do anything about it against the colonial enclave. Likewise, we denounce the actions of foreign consultants and Panamanians who intend to revive the mining project in Cerro Colorado, in complicity with Panamanian and foreign entrepreneurs and opportunistic natives of the region. We reject the intentions of Minera Panama and other companies to expand its mining frontier in northern Santa Fe, within the park of Santa Fe, the complicity of MIAMBIENTE, ANATI and ICIM, which have granted such concessions more than 90% park (over 60,000 hectares of the park is for mining) to various mining transnationals.
Among other conflicts within the Ngäbe Bukle, which the current government Varela has not given any answers are: The thermal wells Galique, respect for collective lands of Playa Zapotal, suspension of the laws Pro -hidroeléctricas, the repeal of Executive Decree 537 of June 2, 2010, the intentions of building a dry canal in the region, in complicity with false opportunist leaders illegally instituted under President Martinelli. And the rejection and cancellation of current hydroelectric projects underway, the illegal sale of beaches and coasts of indigenous and peasant communities.
Upon completion of 4 years of the deaths of our martyrs Tugrí Jerome Rodriguez and Mauricio Mendez, the continuing struggle for our territorial and cultural rights. We call on Ngäbe Bukle, to women's organizations, youth, to organize and actively participate in organizations traditional government, who have centuries and decades fighting for our collective rights, such as traditional Congress to hold its Congress Number XII Ordinary General, from 6 to 10 March in Alto de Jesus, Region Kadriri.
"FOR OUR TERRITORIES AND COLLECTIVE RIGHTS"
"NO TO MINING, NOT Hydropower"
"NO TO CANAL DRY"
"DOWN THE EXECUTIVE DECREE 537"
"THE FIGHT IS FIGHTING"
"Victoriano and Urracá, taught us to fight"

As you may remember, the President of Panama during this time was Ricardo Martinelli, who is wanted now by Panama on charges of corruption, etc., etc. and he is currently living in the United States, hiding from Panamanian law, after running immediately to Italy from the end of his Presidency, and hiding out there with his close friend, fellow ####ist Berlusconi. Why he is allowed to hide here from his own country is a complete mystery.
