More Federal Police to Chiapas Arrive in Civilian Clothes on PFP Airplane Primarily Gathered in Los Altos Area Marco Lara Klahr, correspondent. San Cristo'bal de Las Casas, Chiapas. Up until today - despite the fact the Secretary of Government, Diodoro Carrasco, has been insisting that the Federal Preventive Police (PFP) are operating openly in Chiapas "in order to guarantee the rule of law" - there has only been isolated evidence confirming this. Despite certain newspaper reports speaking of the massive intervention by the PFO in the chiapaneco Los Altos and in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, through security operations, it has only been the evidence given by Porfirio Enciso, director of ARIC-Independent, that has sounded the warning that occasional small groups of Federal Preventive Police agents have landed by helicopter in the Montes Azules. Specialists in Intelligence Activities In addition, EL UNIVERSAL published last Sunday that during the previous week 50 PFP agents had arrived in Tuxtla Gutie'rrez, the capital. These agents are specialists in intelligence and information activities, some of whom, according to an official source, will now be operating in Los Altos. Yesterday, at approximately 10:30 AM, eight men dressed as locals, got off a mini-jet with license number XC-PPF, and with the acronym "PFP" on the tail at the San Cristo'bal de Las Casas airport. Without being bothered by the soldiers on guard duty, they crossed the reception area and went out into the street. A black Blazer van with a tinted windshield was waiting on the runway for a smaller group, who boarded it immediately. It is not known what specific duties are being carried out in Los Altos by the PFP agents in civilian clothing. -- To unsubscribe from this list send a message containing the words unsubscribe chiapas95 (or chiapas95-lite, or chiapas95-english, or chiapas95-espanol) to majordomo@eco.utexas.edu.
