Communiqu?é from the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee ? General

Mexico.

June 19, 2005

To the People of Mexico:
To the Peoples of the World:

Brothers and Sisters:

As of today, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation has declared, throughout
all rebel territory, a

GENERAL RED ALERT

Based on this, we are informing you:

First - That at this time the closure is being carried out of the Caracoles and
the Good Government Offices which are located in the zapatista communities of
Oventik, La Realidad, Morelia and Roberto Barrios, as well as all the
headquarters of the authorities of the different Rebel Zapatista Autonomous
Municipalities.

Second - That also being carried out is the evacuation of the members of the
different Good Government Juntas and the autonomous authorities, in order to
place them in shelter. Now, and for an indefinite time period, they will be
carrying out their work in a clandestine and nomadic manner. Both the projects
as well as the autonomous government will continue functioning, although under
different circumstances than they have been up until now.

Third - That basic community health services will continue functioning in the
different Caracoles. Civilians will be in charge of these services, and the
CCRI-CG of the EZLN is distancing them from any of our future actions, and we
are demanding that they be treated as civilians and with respect for their
life, liberty and goods by government forces.

Fourth - That there has been a call-up of all members of our EZLN who have been
engaged in social work in the zapatista communities and those of our regular
troops who have been in their barracks. In a similar fashion, all broadcasts by
Radio Insurgente, ?The Voice of Those Without Voice?, in FM and in short wave,
have been suspended for an indefinite period of time.

Fifth - That, simultaneous with the publication of this communiqu?é, national and
international civil societies who are working in peace camps and in community
projects are being urged to leave rebel territory. Or, if they decide freely of
their own volition, they remain on their own and at their own risk, gathered in
the caracoles. In the case of minors, their departure is obligatory.

Sixth - That the EZLN announces the closing of the Zapatista Information Centre
(CIZ), not without first thanking the civil societies who have participated in
it, from the time of its creation until today. The CCRI-CG of the EZLN formally
releases these persons from any responsibility for the future actions of the
EZLN.

Seventh - That the EZLN releases from responsibility for any of our future
actions all persons and civil, political, cultural, citizens and
non-governmental organizations, solidarity committees and support groups who
have been close to us since 1994. We thank all of those who have, sincerely and
honestly, throughout these almost 12 years, supported the civil and peaceful
struggle of the zapatista indigenous for the constitutional recognition of
indigenous rights and culture.

Democracy!
Liberty!
Justice!
