Comrades:
Our meeting on Saturday 4 ppdo. was attended by a delegation from the Community Navogoh, people belonging to Qom, led by its chief Felix Diaz, who recounted the origins and details of the brutal repression unleashed against them by the provincial police in Formosa.
is noteworthy that the delegation was specially invited by Qom Open Letter and that this had the invaluable collaboration of CELS and INADI.
In this context, the Commission on Aboriginal Peoples released the attached document which was approved by the assembly.
continuous Colonialism Insfrán land, where political, economic, and judicial, with a brutal crackdown killed a brother of Qom people, Roberto Lopez of the Spring community, along with other shot and burned houses, to defend their ancestral lands.
Felix Diaz, chief of the spring and returned to his hometown after being hidden in the woods, pursued by a warrant, to the desolation of the wrongful death sadness and outrage today about the continuing violations without limitation, suffered by the community for years.
Insfrán Governor chooses to defend the interests of powerful groups concentrated historically faced indigenous people, leaving them in the marginalization, poverty, disease and death. More than a year asked a sitting Qom health and other claims that came before the INAI, and still waiting.
Another strange "accident" and a brother died a few hours Pilagá repression in Spring: a feud rights are not exercised and bother.
"... on Wednesday November 24 Mario Lopez's partner, leader Native Peoples, MoCaFor delegate, an ethnic Pilagá Alberdi domiciled in the colony in the town of Estanislao del Campo, which was developing in his community activist work is violently rammed by a car driven by a brigade official information Police in the province, police identified as Pedro Arias. The poor fellow was leaving his home to take the National Route 81 in a motorcycle when he was hit head-on by the police. Mario Lopez, was a prominent social leader committed to the cause of peasant and indigenous. The police officer involved in the death of Mario Lopez is a pimp who is dedicated to intimidate social leaders the area. " (Fuente. Frente Campesino Nac)
In our country, the Constitution says, no prerogatives of blood ... but it seems that the Government of Formosa do not understand well. Death are categories and the native peoples seem worth less than other deaths ... not break the chains that bind us to stories of racism, repression and cultural subjugation of our past, to unite in a multicultural country with equal rights and that indigenous peoples are not others, we, and what happens to a Qom, or Diaguita as Javier Chocobar, happens to me, the whole of society, like Mariano Ferreyra, Carlos Fuentealba, Dario y Maxi, todos luchadores por reconocidas causas justas y nobles.
Ser parte de la tierra y el territorio es lo opuesto a las avaricias que generan la propiedad privada y la riqueza: los Celía, familia de ganaderos criollos, reclaman como suyas las tierras que pretenden vender a la Universidad Agropecuaria, en vistas a lo cual han expulsado a los Qom de sus territorios ancestrales, respaldados por los diferentes poderes en una clara violación a los derechos indígenas. ¿Se va a enseñar en esa Universidad que un Qom no tiene derecho a su territorio porque hay que sembrar soja?
Pedimos al Gobierno Nacional que tome urgentes medidas para evitar otras posibles muertes de hermanos indígenas en territorio argentino, que se restituyan away the ancestral lands of the community Qom Spring, who are its rightful owners and are unaware of the farce of ownership "trout" and the consequent expropriation of such appropriation "trout" are zero since all acts contrary to what is stated in ILO Convention 169, which being an international treaty is above the law. THE LAW OF EMINENT DOMAIN OF THE LEGISLATURE OF FORMOSA MUST BE DECLARED VOID.
This political process begun May 25, 2003, is a collective whose purpose is to redeem the victims of social injustice and ending impunity. Insfrán Governor should know that there will never be accepted more impunity and does not bear even a single act of government that instead of redeeming the victims, create more social injustice. As the farce to expropriate intangible.
The National Congress must enforce the guarantee and the right of indigenous people already have, enacting a law that respects Indigenous Community Property Article 75 full inc. 17 of the Constitution and ILO Convention 169.
The approval of the bill emerged from the Decree 700/10 of indigenous communal property and the completion of land surveying established by Law 26160 Territorial Emergency are urgent and priority needs to give rise to the good life of the brothers and the implementation of policies that bring into force the indigenous rights that make the Constitution and international treaties. Without it, the law that implemented Néstor Kirchner 26160 prohibiting evictions throughout the country, it would be a dead letter. Qom
The people have rights, let's worth together. We want a country where the right to communicate with identity, indigenous territories, the knowledge of indigenous peoples in their diversity are respected, with accompanying social and cultural policies. Today we are calling for justice for our brothers Qom spring. The new deaths of our brothers, require decision to set up urgent measures to resolve conflicts of aboriginal peoples across the country, applying the right of consultation and participation, to prevent further deaths, that this political process should not be allowed.
is necessary that the nation state provides protection to the brothers Qom, who have legal assistance to end the false criminal accusations made against them, there is no future reprisals and that the damage sustained in its territory to be repaired.
National Congress should enact a law regulating the procedure informed consent as required for all decisions affecting indigenous cultural and territorial states as the agreement. The lack of punishment of the Act puts the Republic in a state of non-compliance with Convention 169. If this law was already in force this "expropriation" of Indian territory could not be consummated .
If there was any doubt about the responsibilities that will fit into the province of Formosa by these facts, the Provincial Government itself was responsible for clear them: the defense made by the Minister of Government of police action that caused the deaths of the brothers Qom is unacceptable. Makes clear that the Provincial Government know the law and the constitutional guarantee of aboriginal peoples to their ancestral lands.
This Government has been emphatic not to suppress the protests. What has made the Government of Formosa is to ignore the legitimate protests of those who are covered by constitutional guarantees. We hold the government of Gildo Insfran of deaths and we join the call for an "independent investigation" for the trial and punishment of the guilty to be effective in keeping with the spirit that guides the actions of national authorities on social issues and human rights.
"The provincial government has not only contributed to the violation of rights, but also to reinforce the historical situation of discrimination, exclusion and poverty of communities indigenous people, "Amnesty International said ... In April 2009, and during a prolonged roadblock, Pueblo Indians of Wichi also died in the path Formosa. María Cristina López, 22, and Mario Garcia, 48. Both appealed as well as the community of La Primavera, respect for their rights (enshrined in national legislation and international frondosa) and, above all, demanded territory. Mixing died of hunger, cold and curable diseases in urban centers. The national media did not report the deaths. (Fuente. Dario Aranda, journalist.)
hope that the Government continue with the policy Human Rights and its focus on the lack of enforcement of the rights of our peoples, ending with the continuing violation of the same in the Formosa Province and across the country.
