2 prisoners allowed themselves to be crucified yesterday in a demand for rights.

The image is dramatic, one of two prisoners in García Moreno prison Quito, who yesterday allowed themselves to be crucified by fellow inmates to demand the return of "reduced sentances" (a normal first world penology benefit aimed at succesful reinsertion), rights which were stripped from the inmates of Equador's 36 prisons by the congress in 2001. The prison was built for 700 prisoners and presently houses 1200 without remission and adecquate nutrition.

Statewide protests began by prisoners on Monday and extended to hungerstrikes in the prisons of Quito and Guayaquil on wednesday.

It has been a little over 2 months since the collapse of the Guiterrez regime on April 20th.
Yet little progress has been felt to have been made. This is felt by support movements and analysts to be due to excessive internal middle class interest in rattling rusty sabres whilst the poorest and specifically those of the Social Assemblies are further marginalised and neglected. read full story / add a comment

Roughly 10 local residents have set up a blockade against a bus which was taking a group of people on a tour of shell's developments in Mayo. The identity of the people on the bus is unknown, but the residents are working on the assumption that they are white collar shell employees (perhaps management). This is based on the observation that they are wearing shirts and ties and not hard hats. read full story / add a comment
