TAKE OVER BY FEDERAL PREVENTIVE POLICE (PFP) OF THE TIERRA Y LIBERTAD COMMUNITARY RADIO STATION IN MONTERREY, N.L., MEXICO
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 22:27:43 -0500
In accordance to the fascist policies of usurper Calderon, at approximately 17:30 hrs of June 6, the federal police took over the installations of communitary Radio Tierra y Libertad in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, according to the denounce by Abraham Soto, of SomosUnoRadio.

The PFP (Preventive Federal Police) arrived at the Tierra y Libertad Communitary Radio Station presumably with a search warrant and carrying long weapons and accompanied by numerous policemen in order to dismantle the station. The staff of Tierra y Libertad remains within the premises (until the 22:00 hrs of today), while approximately 350 citizens have surrounded the station to prevent the take over of Tierra y Libertad by the police and the detention of the people that work in the radio station. Some witnesses stated that the patrols arrived "as if they were chasing drug traffickers", knocking down the door of the radio station and dismantling the transmission antenna. The existing reports say that the federal police declared that they would not detain any of the workers of the radio station. In the meantime, the area is surrounded by neighbors that support Tierra y Libertad. All the equipment of the radio station has been secured, presumatly under a search warrant. The staff have avoided a confrontation and simply proceeded to make an inventory of the secured equipment. Outside the premises, a group of people keeps shouting phrases in support to Tierra y Libertad under the watch of three trucks loaded with policemen that block the access to the radio station.

Precisely at the moment of the arrival of the federal police, Tierra y Libertad was transmitting a program where Hector Camero, Esther Cardoso and other collaborators were talking about education and health care.
