Detienen a agresores de Radio Calenda

El viernes 14 de noviembre fueron aprehendidos algunos de los agresores de
los integrantes de la emisora comunitaria Radio Calenda de Oaxaca, quienes
en 2006 fueron agredidos por autoridades locales tal como lo registra el
Informe "Libertad de Prensa en México: la sombra de la impunidad y la
violencia", elaborado por la Misión Internacional de Documentación sobre
Ataques en Contra de Periodistas y Medios de Comunicación:

"Radio Calenda es un ejemplo claro de la impunidad que tienen que
enfrentar las radios comunitarias cuando son objeto de una agresión. Radio
Calenda está ubicada en el municipio de San Antonino Castillo de Velasco,
y debido a la cobertura que dio al proceso de destitución del presidente
municipal, varios de los colaboradores fueron golpeados fuertemente y
agredidos con armas de fuego. Una de las víctimas fue detenida de manera
arbitraria por un grupo identificado con las autoridades locales. A pesar
de que se han presentado diversas pruebas ante las autoridades
--incluyendo un video de la agresión--no se ha logrado someter a juicio a
los responsables materiales e intelectuales de los hechos."[1]

La Asociación Mundial de Radios Comunitarias en México considera justa la
ejecución de estas órdenes de aprehensión, consecuencia de las demandas
penales interpuestas por el colectivo ante las autoridades locales por los
delitos de tortura, privación de la libertad e intento de homicidio
cometidos contra los integrantes de Radio Calenda, pero resulta lamentable
que se haya hecho una excepción con la orden de aprehensión concerniente
al ahora expresidente municipal, responsable y ejecutor de las agresiones,
quien permanece impune sin asumir ninguna responsabilidad.

Aunque estos hechos forman parte del proceso de justicia y de la
reparación del daño a las víctimas, AMARC-México manifiesta su
preocupación por las posibles represalias que estas aprehensiones puedan
generar como venganza contra Radio Calenda y sus integrantes. Por tal
motivo, demanda a las autoridades del Estado de Oaxaca (Subsecretaría de
Derechos Humanos, Procuraduría de Justicia y Comisión Estatal de Derechos
Humanos) que tomen las medidas pertinentes para garantizar la seguridad de
los integrantes de Radio Calenda, misma que cuenta con medidas cautelares
de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, razón por la que el
Estado Mexicano, incluidos el presidente municipal y a las autoridades
locales del municipio de San Antonino Castillo de Velasco, tienen la
obligación de proteger a los periodistas comunitarios.

Boise Community Radio Mission:
Boise Community Radio http://www.radioboise.org/ aims to cultivate a
stronger sense of "Place" in the Treasure Valley by providing an
unprecedented diversity of locally produced, high quality audio programs
to inform, energize and educate its listeners.

Through an inclusive approach to broadcasting in the region, BCR will
uphold programming principles designed to inspire creative discussion and
enhance social, cultural and environmental awareness by providing music,
entertainment, and community affairs programming to underserved
communities within the broadcast area.

Five questions to ask when turning on your radio:

* Is corporate radio giving me what I want?
* Am I ready for something different?
* Do I have a voice in my community?
* Am I looking for diversity in musical programming?
* Do I want to hear about local and global issues rarely reported in
commercial media?


The attractiveness of a community has been traced to the notion of
"quality of place."
Sociologists have defined this idea by the following concept:

Quality of Place = Diversity + Civic Culture + Environment + Entrepreneurship

BCR seeks to enhance "Quality of Place" in the Treasure Valley by
engendering an inclusive community, open and supportive of diversity.

Community Radio is Important:

* Strengthens the "cultural health" of a region
* Empowers citizens by providing a forum for a diversity of
viewpoints and ideas
* Promotes awareness of community-based organizations and services
* Supports local artists, musicians, and cultural activities
* Offers an effective instrument for community development
* Compliments state and local educational efforts
