Oaxaca police tortured four Spaniards: El Mundo article

From Chris Fernandez to the BinaryFreedom mailing list:

In Oajaca (Oaxaca in old Spanish) Mexico people from all over the world are joining the struggle to help the  native people against the capitalist machine and the US influence  in Mexico, police brutality and even military horror has been the topic for 1 year already, but this time they screw with the wrong people, 4 Spaniards from Barcelona got arrested and tortured, but it happens that one is a lawyer, another a reporter, another a well known teacher and another is a scientist.
The news is flying all over Europe and soon people will start asking questions to Mexican authorities and tension is going to raise and if before the topic of Oajaca was not covered by the media now it is, more info [in Spanish]:
