Indymedia activist killed in Oaxaca
On Friday, October 27, truckloads of pro-government paramilitaries opened fire on a barricade in the outskirts of the Mexican State of Oaxaca, which has been under local control for the past five months. The gunmen killed five people, including US journalist and camerman William Bradley Roland, aka Brad Will. According to La Jornada, Will died before reaching the hospital. Among the dead was also a schoolteacher named Emililio Alofonzo Fabian. Seventeen are reported wounded, including a photographer from the newspaper Milenio Diario, who was at Will's side. Will, age 36, was active in Massachusetts and had worked with Indymedia Centers in New York, Bolivia and Brazil, and is believed to be the first Indymedia journalist to be killed while reporting.
