Marcelino Coache Verano, an APPO activist, was released around 1:30pm on Thursday afternoon from his prison in Cosolapa. Verano was arrested on December 4, 2006 with Flavio Sosa, a well-known APPO speaker. While the police had an arrest warrant for Sosa and his brother, they arrested Verano for allegedly assaulting the officers. Verano’s release reminds us that political prisoners related to the Oaxacan uprising still remain in prison–dealing daily with abuses and maltreatment. Noticias reports that ten prisoners still remain.
