Following the feminicides of Adriana and Virginia O. G., indigenous women from the Triqui nation of Oaxaca, the Triqui Unification and Struggle Movement (MULT), a political and social organization in which they were active, deployed roadblocks indefinitely in the Mixteca region.
“Justice for Adriana and Virginia,” “Punishment for the guilty,” are some of the slogans of the protesters and members of the women’s families as well as Triqui residents after the shooting of both women in the Oaxacan capital.
The roadblocks began on Wednesday morning at the entrances and exits of Putla de Guerrero and Santiago Juxtlahuca, municipalities where the inhabitants of the majority of the communities of the lower Triqui nation remain stationed. This, after the two women from Rastrojo Copala were murdered.
The members of the organization particularly accuse the inaction of the Attorney General of Oaxaca, Bernardo Rodríguez Alamilla, in the face of previous crimes against their militants, “if they cannot, they should resign, we want justice and exemplary punishment against those responsible,” they say.
In addition, they called on the Attorney General of the State of Oaxaca (FGEO) to execute the arrest warrants against those they consider the direct and intellectual authors.
They demand justice for feminicides
For its part, the FGEO reported that it is investigating “with a gender and intercultural perspective” the murder of both women. After these violent events, members of other groups such as the Independent Triqui Movement for Unification and Struggle (MULTI) have also joined the demand that the FGEO clarify the feminicides.
“We demand that the Attorney General of the State of Oaxaca conduct an impartial, exhaustive investigation free of political pressure,” they said, after being accused by members of the MULT, an antagonistic political and social organization, of being the masterminds.
