We share with our readers the document that was written together by the Consorcio Oaxaca and CP- Sol Rojo, accompanying her on last Wednesday the 30th of April, on the day of her burial.

The organizations that have been accompanying the case of the defender Sandra Estefana Domínguez Martínez, we are here today, with our hearts beating full of love for life, with the rencounter of hers with her family, with those we have been walking for 206 days in a collective way in the demand of present her alive.

We don’t negate our indignation and our rage for the way the State is giving us Sandra back, for all the disqualifications, criminalization, revictimization and harassment, that was been imposed against her and her family in all this time. We do not renounce to the struggle for the truth and justice, because it isn’t over.

We believe firmly that the best memory of an Ayuuk woman, defender of the human rights and feminist, is continuing her example and make spread it out to all the woman of the indigenous women, that suffer under oppression and all the persons that believe in the construction of a new world. May all get to know your struggle.

Sandra, we aren’t here to say goodbye, but we are here to salute you like the comrade that despite the adversity ant the fear knew how to raise the voice confronting with the dignity what is outrage.

Sandra we came to tell you that your struggle has left a mark in the persons that you have accompanied, between the women that you took in your arms, the people’s that you walked with, the net strings you have created. And left a mark in those, us, who believed in you, even though when you weren’t there,

Sandra we are here with you today, paying this simple homage, accompanying you and your family in these moments, like we did on the rallies and the streets and vigilance, when thinking of you.

Sandra we came to take you in our arms collectively before burying, planting you in the earth, where doubtlessly you will flourish again, this time in form of hope and happiness of tomorrow, together with the other defenders that haven´t been taken. Sandra comrade, we came to say good bye for ever.
