"Freedom for Yakiri"
From Yakiri Libre Tijuana:
"Colectivo Yakiri Libre Tijuana invites
you to support action for Yakiri Rubio’s freedom. Yakiri is a 20
year-old activist from Mexico City, who after being raped by two men, in
December 2013, is now incarcerated facing homicide charges. As one of
the attackers stabbed her, Yakiri fought back to save her life and
stabbed him instead. The man died after fleeing the scene along with his
accomplice. In January 10, 2014, Colectivo Yakiri Libre Tijuana took
action for the first time by making the video “Yo Hubiera Hecho Lo Mismo,” (I would have done the same) in which about 100 people
demonstrated against gender violence and the sexist penal law process
that threatens human rights, women rights. With this, we attempt to
network with others in order to disclose Yakiri’s case and make it an
instrument of pressure to condemn the injustice. It is clear that in
this case as in others, the present Mexican authorities will not favor
the citizens; therefore, if Yakiri becomes free, it would only be
because of national and international civil pressure. If you are
interested in collaborating, we will be connected and ready to network
this Friday January 24 at 7:30 p.m. You can participate from your
Twitter and Facebook accounts. These are the hashtags we will use:
#24Emx, #YoHubieraHechoLoMismo,#YakiriLibre, #YakiriLibreTijuana,
#NoMásViolenciaDeGénero. This event will take place simultaneously with
Yakiri Libre (Mexico City). Facebook.com/yakirilibretijuana and
