There is now an online petition at http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ay%C3%BAdenos-a-encontrar-a-ana-bel%C3%A9m-s%C3%A1nchez-diego-maldonado-y-luis-casta%C3%B1eda#
I'm normally not a great fan of this kind of 'clicktivism' but in this case it is a good way to demonstrate that they are not alone.
Thanks
Mark





Please see below.
I'll also post this on libpsy.org
Any thoughts about a statement or other action from the network?  My own view is that a multitude of letters from around the world, complete with titles and all that are likely to be more effective than a collective statement from the network.

Hi Mark, could the liberation psychology network issue a statement about this?

 

Details of the case are at (http://nomasvictimas.org/abduction/). I suggest this simple letter is sent to me, and to Dr. Roberto Mendoza of the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande in Brazil ([log in to unmask]). We can then relay it to those who are organising inside Mexico and outside to put pressure on the authorities to take this seriously.

 

3 September 2012

 

To whom it may concern:

 

We want to register our support for the recent calls on the authorities in the town of Paracho, Michoacan State of Mexico and other relevant authorities in Mexico to investigate the disappearance on Wednesday 18th July 2012 of three psychologists Ana Belén Sánchez Mayorga, Diego A Maldonado and Luis Enrique Castañeda Nava. These three were visiting the town to give a science workshop at the Balloon Festival at the invitation of the Paracho Community Cultural Centre and the local government.

 

Blood and signs of struggle in the hotel from where they were abducted have not been taken seriously by the police. Petitions have been signed, and letters of support sent from inside Mexico and abroad. We are aware that a national demonstration took place in Mexico City on the 1st September. We ask that this disappearance of our colleagues is taken seriously.
