Zapatistas gather to honor fallen compañero in La Realidad

4000 Zapatista’s and supporters in line, waiting to visit the grave of Galeano, killed in a paramilitary attack against Zapatista members in La Realidad on May 2, 2014. Thousands gathered show their digna rabia – or dignified rage, and demand justice and an end to the on-going violence directed towards Zapatista indigenous communities in Chiapas. The May 2nd attack was the first such attack directly in a Zapatista Caracol – or Cultural Center of Resistance and Autonomous Governance. One by one they offered condolences.
