herself from the rain in a temporary
shelter for refugees of the Acteal mas-
sacre last December. The camp is located
in the mountain regions of the province
of Chenalh6, Chiapas.
(top right) As the coffins of the 45 peo-
ple killed at Acteal were brought into
the autonomous Zapatista municipality
of Polh6, Chenalh6, children protest
against the army and paramilitary vio-
lence in their communities. Many of the
people fleeing the violence in Acteal
have sought refuge in Polh6. The sign
to the right reads: “Stop the aggression
against our indigenous brothers and sis-
ters. No more faceless deaths. Civil
Society. ”
