"We demand the closure of the Marlin Mine," was heard yesterday, when representatives of communities of San Miguel community, manifested in the main roads leading to the Marlin mine, as a peaceful way to pressure the government so far has not implemented the Provisional Measures, which includes the suspension of the Marlin mine. The precautionary measures were granted by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of 18 communities of San Miguel community since May 2010 and to this date the government has not complied with them. Unfortunately not all ended peacefully as sought by the rally, some protesters in the demonstration peaceful physically assaulted and threatened several representatives and community leaders, is unfortunate and sad that confront corporations achieve Mam population in San Miguel community among themselves. The Roman Empire had long understood: "Divide and Conquer."
