Greenham Common
women to begin Faslane protest
By Kirsty Taylor

Veterans from the women’s peace camp at Greenham Common will
mark the 25th anniversary of their campaign to ban nuclear weapons
by kicking off a year-long protest at the Trident base at Faslane
today. A decision on the future of the warheads maintained at
Faslane is set to be made before the end of 2006. Campaigners fear
that the government will opt to build a new generation of nuclear
weapons to replace the current submarine-based Trident system.
At noon today, the Greenham women will begin the blockade organised
by campaign group Faslane 365. They will be joined by all-female
protest groups from around the world, including the anti-war
charity Women In Black and the English nuclear protest group
Aldermaston Women...

The Dead of Tlatelolco
Washington, DC, October 1, 2006 - The National Security Archive at
George Washington University, in collaboration with Proceso
magazine, publishes today a list of names of the men and women
killed in the October 2, 1968 Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico, based exclusively on
declassified Mexican intelligence files. In order to continue
gathering evidence about the victims of Tlatelolco, the Archive
also launches today a new Web link, where families, friends and
colleagues of those who died during the massacre can register
additional names, documents and photographs.

The question of how many people died when soldiers and government
agents opened fire on a peaceful student protest in Mexico City has
long puzzled researchers. Eyewitnesses to the massacre speculated
that anywhere from dozens to hundreds may have been killed, while
government stonewalling prevented investigators from clarifying the
incident.
But recently-opened archives from Mexican military and security
agencies have fuelled new efforts to understand what happened at
Tlatelolco. Among the thousands of files now available to
researchers are records containing the identities of those who died
on October 2: eyewitness accounts by government agents, lists of
the dead compiled by hospitals and the Red Cross, intelligence
reports on the funerals of victims, and autopsy reports. Taken
together, these documents offer the first opportunity to compile a
list of those killed during the clash at Tlatelolco.
After eight months of research in the Mexican national archives,
the National Security Archive has found records documenting the
deaths of 44 people: 34 are named, and 10 more remain unidentified.
The death of each person is documented in more than one
declassified government record. Each one is cross-checked against
the available secondary sources. Each one represents a life lost in
the senseless attack by government forces on the student
movement--an attack that killed not only students but soldiers,
workers, a teacher, a housewife, a 15-year old domestic worker, an
unemployed father.
"There is no better way to fight a government's lies than with the
government's own records," says senior analyst and Mexico Project
director Kate Doyle. "For the first time, Mexicans can unearth hard
evidence about the casualties of Tlatelolco, and with it begin to
write a more accurate history of what happened."
In an effort to continue compiling documentary evidence about the
victims of Tlatelolco, the Archive announces today the launching of
a new electronic registry, located on the web site of the Mexico
Project. It is a place where the families, friends and colleagues
of those lost can go to register the names of their loved ones and
related documents, photographs and memories. Through the registry,
the Archive hopes to construct a final and definitive list of
Tlatelolco's dead.
