Worldwide Chiapas Protest Statistics: Version 2.1, 1/11/98
A Project of Cyberpower for Peace in Chiapas
Issued on January 11, 1998
There is a World Wide Web of Resistance to the Mexican Government and
in Support of Indigenous Peoples in Chiapas. In just 20 days, over 122
protest actions, involving tens of thousands of people, have happened
in at least the United States, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Argentina,
Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland,
and Australia. And more protests are being planned all over the world!
This global action seems to exceed earlier moments of coordinated and
dispersed resistance to the Mexican government and outpourings of support
for the Zapatistas (Feb. 95, Jan. 94). Has there been such global resistance
since the Gulf War in 1991? Would this current coordinated and dispersed
resistance have happened without the Internet?
In 20 days since Dec. 22, 1997 Acteal Massacre in Chiapas, Mexico:
Actions: 122+
People: 21,600+ (est.)
Cities/Towns: 61+
Countries: 15+
Continents: 4
