News Report on Mexico, December 1994. EZLN returns to militarized activity in Chiapas with the appointment of a new PRI governor to that state. To foster a closer examination of the recent Mexican elections, there is a reading from the November 'Latin American News Update' that exposes injustices and even electoral fraud in the PRI dominated elections. Reports have surfaced in 'Excelsior' that there were patterned anomalies in the election's voting records, representing a culture electoral impunity. Rural elections were significantly less clean than those in urban areas; in widespread cases, ballots were not marked, polls were not opened on time, and re-voting and violations of secret ballot were allowed.
Reading of a December 10, 1994 article from 'Peace Net' by Herman Bellinghausen. This article reports the EZLN's remilitarization and notification of civilian areas for future war under Geneva Convention procedures. Bellinghausen notes mass population movements, town preparations, and a large army presence in Chiapas. U.S. Human Rights Watch condemns the U.S. and other Western powers for putting trade before human rights.
