A confrontation between teachers and teacher trainees against federal policemen in Insurgentes avenue in Chilpancingo, Guerrero left a balance of eight civilians and injured three agents yesterday.
The facts have started coming in this morning when five federal policemen who apparently were drunk beat two normalistas of Ayotzinapa that made preparations for a concert where there would be a rock concert and in which they would have several bands. The event called "a light in the darkness", in which the group participate Panteon Rococo, would be there to support the movement of Ayotzinapa.
On having found out about the aggression against their partners, more young normalistas came to the place and detained the police officers.
Then, approximately 300 federal police officers led by commander "Spartacus" arrived to rescue the agents being held.
Teachers of the State Coordinator of Education Workers of the State of Guerrero (CETEG) and UNAM students mobilized on Avenida Insurgentes and they initiated a confrontation where civilians threw stones and the police used tear gas and clubs. A subject in a pickup truck plowed into a federal agent, who is hospitalized and in serious condition.
The Feds arrested the driver of the pickup and two teachers of the CETEG, who were beaten and robbed of their cell phones.
The 'Espartaco' Commander negotiated with teachers for the delivery of three agents who had been retained, then that he gave to them the driver of the truck and the two teachers.
Teachers Elias Sanchez and Ramiro Leyva were beaten by the feds and are in serious condition, indicated the leaders of the CETEG. A reporter also was injured during the commotion.
A professor charged that the federal police officers were drunk and began to attack them while doing logistics work for the concert that would be the afternoon of this Sunday.
After the confrontation, participants of the festival "a light in the darkness" reported that the event was suspended "due to the provocation of the Federal Police to the population of the Rural Teacher of Ayotzinapa". The concert would have been in the vicinity of the monument to Nicolas Bravo, near the market Baltasar R. Leyva, north of Chilpancingo.
UPDATE;
Solano Gutierrez was wounded by a bullet in the head during the attack committed by municipal police in Iguala and currently remains hospitalized in a clinic in Mexico City
UPDATE;
.It adds that the incident left nearly 17 wounded, 'including two relatives of the disappeared, normal students of Ayotzinapa, the CETEG teachers and students of UNAM, denied them medical care by Chilpancingo Red Cross and they moved them to other hospitals, and authorities removed their phones, purses and shoes'
Apparently the Red Cross has the same attitude as the government about the Normalistas.
The former coordinator of Health Services of Iguala, Angelica Narvaez Perez, was fired from her job in retaliation because she gave medical attention to normalistas Ayotzinapa that were injured during the violent events of last September 26.
Her offense; she heeded the call of her profession to provide humanitarian aid and worked late into the night the day of the attack, serving Solano Aldo Edgar Gutiérrez and Andrés Vargas, normalistas from Ayotzinapa and their families.
