🏴 Propaganda Material for the Freedom of Indigenous Mazatec Anarchist Miguel Peralta Betanzos and the Community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca
📍Pamphlet: End the Persecution Against Miguel Peralta (2026):Brief summary of the history of criminalization, imprisonment, and persecution against Miguel Peralta. Ideal for mass distribution.

📍Graphic Archive (2015-2026):Collection of graphic material in solidarity with the struggle for the freedom of Miguel Peralta Betanzos.

📍Zine #1: Community Struggle and Political Repression in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón. The Case of Miguel Peralta Betanzos (2017):This conflict has always been complicated and difficult for many of us to understand. Communal forms of organization were present that not all of us knew or understood. The existence of a struggle over community resources. The legacy of Magón. Different family members have been involved in the conflict. Above all, the evident division of the people between the representative authorities of the state and the community assembly.
It was difficult to analyze all of this from the outside, with little information and with some doubt: What would an anarchist have to do with a conflict that could be reduced simply to an electoral dispute? Soon we began to unravel the situation and something was becoming more and more clear: there was one side, the state, putting to use its repressive resources against the community assembly.
Thus, the reduction of the conflict to an electoral dispute pointed to something much larger: the struggle of the people and the community assembly was not for the mere presence of a “false” municipal president. It was rather for the autonomy of the people and the strategies they developed to maintain themselves outside of the state.

📍Zine #2: Rumblings from the Mountain: Prison, Solidarity and Struggle (2019):This collection weaves together numerous writings derived from within and around experiences of incarceration. These writings show the dynamics and consequences of imprisonment, as well as the networks of solidarity, voluntary association, and mutual aid that form in the struggle against it.
This collection emerged as part of our ongoing organizing efforts accompanying our imprisoned compañero Miguel Peralta in the struggle for his freedom. We wanted to give insight into Miguel’s physical, emotional and political experience in prison through his own words; in the statements, poetry, denunciations and other texts which are included herein.
In this collection you will also find writings we have produced as a solidarity group in our experience accompanying Miguel, as well as writings from other prisoners and collectives engaged in the struggle against captivity. With love and solidarity for our imprisoned compañerxs.

🔴Why Does the Political Persecution Against Miguel Peralta Continue?
📍On February 20, 2026, the First Collegiate Court of Oaxaca officially recognized the falsity of the testimonies against Miguel, thereby acquitting him of all charges.
📍That ruling should have put an end to the political persecution against him. However, on June 12, 2026, we were notified that the case of Miguel has returned to the Supreme Court, as the court accepted a motion for review filed by the accusing party—the State Congresswoman Elisa Zepeda—against the ruling granting him absolute freedom. That ruling has now been “suspended” until the Supreme Court dictates a new ruling. Miguel’s case has thus been reopened, and the State persecution against him continues. The new ruling from the Supreme Court is expected sometime in 2027. The coming months are crucial to demand the court put an end once and for all to the persecution.

Update on the Case of Mazatec Anarchist Miguel Peralta
In Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, deep in the Sierra Mazatec mountains, there is no forgetting and there is no surrender. There is memory, rage, and a community that doesn’t ask for permission to exist. In the face of a system of “justice” that seeks to destroy the community, the response has been resistance and solidarity, weaving the pathway of freedom.
For more than a decade the community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón has been standing up to institutional racism, wresting from the state little by little what belongs to them: freedom. Because nothing has been a gift. Everything achieved has been through struggle in the streets, in front of the court houses, in the tribunals, in front of the prisons, in the protest encampments that resist attrition, in the autonomous spaces, collectives, and individuals who have joined the call for freedom.
As is already well-known, this case derived from manipulation. It was fabricated from the positions of power of Elisa Zepeda, Manuel Zepeda, the Public Prosecutor of Huautla, and an entire network of interests of the government of Oaxaca in 2014. It was not an error, but rather a strategy.
And nonetheless the community and many others who are part of this struggle continue resisting.
Today, April 30, we remember the day that Miguel was detained. Twelve years ago, they snatched from him his freedom. Today, more than 12 years later, despite favorable rulings, the legal situation remains bleak.
On February 20, 2026, the First Collegiate Court of Oaxaca, which in 2023 issued a timid ruling, recognized this time what we have always sustained: this is a fabricated case with witnesses planted for personal interests in exchange for political favors. This victorious sentence is historic because it also recognizes that the testimony of Elisa Zepeda is implausible.
On March 3rd, the Third Circuit Court—the same that revoked Miguel’s freedom in 2022—was obligated to recognize his innocence against all accusations, confirming that the crimes of homicide and attempted homicide do not exist.
What has been achieved isn’t a favor granted by the system, but the result of years of struggle, of refusing to remain silent, of refusing to give up.
Recently, the State Congresswoman Elisa Zepeda has been moving her pieces with cold calculation, activating her networks of influence and her financial machinery of misinformation to try to consolidate her lies and position herself. She has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against the recent resolution from the Collegiate Court in Oaxaca, despite lacking the standing to do so. The Supreme Court already ruled on the case and the State Congresswoman never before presented an appeal to defend the arguments that she is now putting forth. She lost that opportunity. Furthermore, according to the constitution, there is no issue on which the Supreme Court can rule. The Collegiate Court only did what the Supreme Court ordered them to do in 2024.
The decision on whether or not to proceed with Elisa Zepeda’s appeal falls on the President of the Supreme Court, Hugo Aguilar Ortiz. Since there are no legal or sociopolitical grounds for granting yet another judicial favor for the cacique family, the appeal must be dismissed.
Yet, we are not ignorant of the relations of power and influence that exist between Elisa Zepeda Lagunas, her lawyers from the organization Litigio Estratégico Indígena, and the President of the Supreme Court, Hugo Aguilar Ortiz. We are not ignorant of the Mexican State’s ongoing war against Indigenous community organization, autonomy, and territorial defense. If the appeal proceeds at the Supreme Court, we know that it is a consequence of these relations of power and influence, and not of any legal merit.
Regardless of the outcome, the resistance will continue. We know that this still isn’t over.

New Ruling on the Case of Anarchist Miguel Peralta
On February 20, the court in Oaxaca again ruled on an appeal in the case of our compañero and friend, Miguel Peralta Betanzos.
For more than 12 years the Mazatec people have resisted and countered the cacique attacks against their territory and community.
On Friday, the First Collegiate Court for Criminal and Labor Matters in the State of Oaxaca issued a “partial” ruling on the case:
ABSOLVING Miguel of the charge of attempted homicide.
LEAVING OPEN HIS PROCESS for the charge of homicide.
In both cases, the arguments provided by the legal defense and the evidence were more than sufficient to not only understand Miguel’s innocence but also to demonstrate the absurdity, capriciousness, and arrogance of the accusations of the cacique Zepeda Lagunas family against members of the community assembly.
- To all those who have supported and shown their solidarity, we appreciate your presence and attention!
- To the legal defense who have put so much sweat, effort, and determination into this case, thank you so much!
- To those who have provided psychosocial support and helped us out of trouble, much love and gratitude!
- To our anarchist comrades who have shown solidarity and selflessness, contributing to many initiatives and ideas, you will always be our accomplices!
- To the anthropological team that produced a valuable expert report, here we continue!
- To the free, self-managed, pirate, and autonomous media projects that have contributed and helped bring this history to different places, we are forever grateful!
- To all those who have put their effort and heart into this—whether as organizations or individuals—our infinite gratitude. You are always in our thoughts and you can count on us!
- And of course, the Mazatec people and families who have received us, although we don’t speak their language, infinite reciprocity!Thanks for being here and continuing, the struggle never ends.
Eloxochitlán and Miguel, always free!
May the mountains have our backs.
Yorch always present in our hearts and actions.

Prison, Persecution, and Resistance. The Case of Miguel Peralta Betanzos
"I think that persecution is often something we don’t talk about as much in the struggle, as we are often thinking more specifically about physical imprisonment. But for compas who are being persecuted, or living on the run, it is difficult to articulate it all, every emotion. It is somewhat like existing without a clear identity. Being on the run means living constantly with tension. Being on the run means not sleeping well. Being on the run means living daily uncertainty, with the constant risk of being detained. Many things can happen along the way.
Regarding the legal resolutions, or how our legal process has progressed over the last decade. We, or at least I, have always doubted the system of justice in Mexico, in Oaxaca, in Huautla. We have always fought for our freedom with resistance, with the struggle of our community of Eloxochitlán, with the struggle of the compañeros and compañeras who have resisted day after day, in the city, in the streets, in the community, always raising their voices, always putting their bodies on the line and showing solidarity with other struggles."

Call for Solidarity with Miguel Peralta Betanzos Continues
The three months given to the Collegiate Court of Oaxaca to resolve the appeal in case 631/2022 of politically persecuted anarchist, Miguel Peralta Betanzos, has come and gone. As is custom, the state doesn’t fulfill its own rules, further wearing down and tiring out those who are facing legal cases, their family members, communities, and compas. It now seems that the hearing and resolution from the court will come sometime in the final weeks of January or in February 2026. Although nor should we trust the state’s word.
It is important to highlight that this is one of the last remaining legal resources available for Miguel Peralta to free himself of the political persecution of the Mexican State. There are multiple possible results with this resolution. One is that his original 50-year sentence is confirmed. Another is that he is absolved of all charges and granted his absolute freedom. There is much at stake…
We continue calling on individuals, collectives, and organizations to show their solidarity with Miguel Peralta. Art, graphics, letters, communiques, events, street actions, everything and anything can add to the ongoing solidarity.
Absolute Freedom for Miguel Peralta!

Continúa el llamado a la solidaridad con Miguel Peralta Betanzos
Ya pasaron más de tres meses que fueron otorgados al Primer Tribunal Colegiado de Oaxaca para resolver el amparo en el caso 631/2022 del perseguido político Miguel Peralta Betanzos. Como de costumbre, el Estado incumplió sus propias normas para desgastar a lxs compañerxs que enfrentan procesos legales, a sus familiares, a sus comunidades y a sus compas. Ahora parece que la audiencia y la resolución del Tribunal vendrán hasta las próximas semanas de enero o febrero. Aunque tampoco confiamos en la palabra del Estado.
Es importante destacar que éste es uno de los últimos recursos jurídicos que le quedan a Miguel Peralta para librarse de la persecución política por parte del Estado mexicano. Para esta resolución hay múltiples resultados posibles. Uno es que se confirme su condena original de 50 años de prisión. Otra es que se le absuelva de todos los cargos y se le conceda la libertad absoluta. Mucho está en juego...
Seguimos convocando a individualidades, colectivos u organizaciones a mostrar su solidaridad con Miguel. Arte, gráfica, cartas, comunicados, eventos, acciones callejeras, todo puede sumarse en solidaridad.

Miguel Peralta Betanzos is a community organizer and anarchist from the Mazatec community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca. Together with his family and community members, for more than a decade, Miguel has faced criminalization, imprisonment, and persecution from the Mexican State for his struggle against cacique-political party power in defense of the autonomy and self-determination of his community.
Following a sociopolitical conflict that exploded into violence in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón in December 2014, caused by a cacique attack on the community assembly, Miguel was detained in April 2015 on fabricated charges. In October 2018 he was sentenced to fifty years in prison.
Following an appeal and nearly a month on a hunger strike, in October 2019, Miguel was absolved of all charges and released. During the four years and six months Miguel was in prison, he was active in the struggle against prisons and for the freedom of the other political prisoners of Eloxochitlán.
More than two years after his release, on March 4, 2022, the Collegiate Court in Oaxaca revoked Miguel’s freedom, confirming again his original fifty-year sentence and issuing an arrest warrant against him. Since then, Miguel has been displaced from his community, living beneath political persecution.
On November 6, 2024, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled on an appeal in Miguel’s case. Instead of ordering his absolute freedom and ending the political persecution against him, the Supreme Court returned the case to the Collegiate Court in Oaxaca ordering that court to rule again on the case. The new ruling is expected sometime in late 2025.
It is important to mention who is responsible for the repression in Eloxochitlán: the cacique Manuel Zepeda and his daughter, the state representative, Elisa Zepeda Lagunas. Occupying positions of power and mobilizing the repressive apparatus of the state, they have terrorized the community for more than ten years. We continue calling for solidarity with Miguel Peralta and the community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magon, Oaxaca.

Personas afines que habitamos y resistimos en Oaxaca, les hacemos un llamado para encontrarnos este 9 de mayo en la Cervecería Capucha (cerveza hecha por mujeres) dónde buscamos crear formas de solidaridad con Miguel Peralta Betanzos, quién sigue siendo perseguido por el Estado carcelario, fascista y asesino. Así también a repensar las maneras en las que podemos hacer frente al despojo de espacios públicos, que muchxs de nosotrxs tomamos como espacios de trabajo y que ahora (y como siempre) en un discurso de odio busca "limpiar las calles de Oaxaca". ¿Cómo solidarizarnos y hacer frente a esta persecución continua que busca desarticularnos y atentar contra nuestros modos de vivir-sobrevivir?

Three zines about the struggle for the freedom of Indigenous Mazatec anarchist Miguel Peralta Betanzos and the community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca
Zine #1: Community Struggle and Political Repression in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón. The Case of Miguel Peralta Betanzos
This conflict has always been complicated and difficult for many of us to understand. Communal forms of organization were present that not all of us knew or understood. The existence of a struggle over community resources. The legacy of Magón. Different family members have been involved in the conflict. Above all, the evident division of the people between the representative authorities of the state and the community assembly.
It was difficult to analyze all of this from the outside, with little information and with some doubt: What would an anarchist have to do with a conflict that could be reduced simply to an electoral dispute? Soon we began to unravel the situation and something was becoming more and more clear: there was one side, the state, putting to use its repressive resources against the community assembly.
Thus, the reduction of the conflict to an electoral dispute pointed to something much larger: the struggle of the people and the community assembly was not for the mere presence of a “false” municipal president. It was rather for the autonomy of the people and the strategies they developed to maintain themselves outside of the state.

Zine #2: Rumblings from the Mountain: Prison, Solidarity and Struggle
This collection weaves together numerous writings derived from within and around experiences of incarceration. These writings show the dynamics and consequences of imprisonment, as well as the networks of solidarity, voluntary association and mutual aid that form in the struggle against it.
This collection emerged as part of our ongoing organizing efforts accompanying our imprisoned compañero Miguel Peralta in the struggle for his freedom. We wanted to give insight into Miguel’s physical, emotional and political experience in prison through his own words; in the statements, poetry, denunciations and other texts which are included herein.
In this collection you will also find writings we have produced as a solidarity group in our experience accompanying Miguel, as well as writings from other prisoners and collectives engaged in the struggle against captivity. With love and solidarity for our imprisoned compañerxs.

El conflicto siempre se presentó como algo complicado y poco entendible para muchxs de nosotrxs. Se atravesaban formas comunitarias que no todxs conocíamos y comprendíamos; la existencia de una lucha por los recursos comunitarios; el legado magonista; se presentaban varixs actorxs encontradxs que eran familiares y; la evidente división del pueblo entre las autoridades representantes del Estado y la Asamblea Comunitaria.
Fue complicado analizar todo esto desde afuera, con poca información y con dudas al respecto pues, ¿Qué tendrían qué hacer unxs anarquistas ante un conflicto que podría reducirse a una cuestión electoral? Cosa que pronto fuimos desmarañando y nos iba quedando cada vez más claro algo: había un lado, el del Estado, ocupando sus recursos represores contra lxs miembrxs de la Asamblea Comunitaria.
Así, aquella reducción del conflicto a una cuestión electoral apuntaba a algo mucho mayor: la lucha del pueblo y la Asamblea Comunitaria no era por la mera presenciade un presidente municipal “espurio” sino por la autonomía de los pueblos y las estrategias que elaboran para mantenerse al margen del Estado, sus órganos represores y su control.
Fanzine #2 : Bullicios de la montaña. Cárcel, acompañamiento y lucha (2019)
El contenido de este material es un tejido de textos alrededor de y en procesos de encierro, dejando ver tanto las dinámicas y consecuencias que estos generan como las redes de solidaridad que emergen. Por lo que aquí se plasman escritos sobre la injustica y el cariño. Este material es parte del acompañamiento al proceso de encierro del compañero Miguel Peralta, introduciéndonos en su poesía y proceso emocional, compartimos pronunciamientos, pensamientos y denuncias. De igual manera se encontrarán textos que como grupo que acompaña hemos generado y de otrxs compas presxs y ex-presxs que en el transitar de la lucha contra el encierro y las injusticias nos hemos vinculado. Con cariño y solidaridad a lxs presxs. Libertad para Miguel

Solidaridad con Miguel Peralta
Miguel Peralta es un defensor comunitario y anarquista de la comunidad de Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca. Junto a familiares e integrantes de su comunidad, durante casi una década, Miguel se ha enfrentado a la criminalización, encarcelamiento y persecución por organizarse por la autonomía y la autodeterminación contra el poder caciquil-partidista.
A raíz de un conflicto sociopolítico en la comunidad de Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón en 2014, Miguel fue detenido en abril de 2015 bajo cargos fabricados. En octubre de 2018 fue condenado a 50 años de prisión. Tras la interposición de un amparo, y casi un mes en huelga de hambre, en octubre de 2019 Miguel fue absuelto de todos los cargos y puesto en libertad.
Mas de dos años después, el 4 de marzo de 2022, la Tercera Sala Penal de Oaxaca revocó su liberad, condenándolo de nuevo a 50 años, y liberando una orden de aprensión en su contra. Desde entonces, Miguel ha sido desplazado de su comunidad, teniendo que vivir bajo la persecución política.
En enero de 2024, la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación admitió un amparo relacionado con su case y se espera la fecha de audiencia y resolución. Mientras tanto, seguimos llamando a la solidaridad con Miguel Peralta y la comunidad de Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca.
¡Alto a la represión de Estado contra Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón!
¡Autonomía para las comunidades indígenas!
¡Libertad para Miguel Peralta!
¡Libertad a todxs lxs presxs y perseguidxs!Para mayor información: [email protected]

Solidarity with Miguel Peralta
Miguel Peralta is an Indigenous Mazatec community organizer and anarchist from the community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca. Alongside family and community members, for nearly a decade, Miguel has faced criminalization, imprisonment, and persecution for his participation in community life, organizing for autonomy and self-determination against cacique and political party power.
Following a socio-political conflict in Eloxochitlán in December of 2014, Miguel was arrested in April 2015 on fabricated charges. In October 2018 he was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Following an appeal, and nearly a month on a hunger strike, in October 2019 Miguel was absolved of all charges and released from prison.
Over two years later, on March 4, 2022, his freedom was overturned, he was again sentenced to 50 years in prison, and a warrant was put out for his arrest. Since then, Miguel has been displaced from his community, having to live beneath political persecution.
In 2024, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation agreed to rule on an appeal in his case. The date for that hearing and resolution has still not been set. We continue to call for solidarity with Miguel Peralta and the community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca.
End the state repression against Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón!
Autonomy for the Indigenous communities!
Freedom for Miguel Peralta!
Freedom for all prisoners and persecuted!For more information about Miguel's case: [email protected]

Cadenazo radial por la libertad absoluta de Miguel Peralta y por la destrucción total del sistema carcelario.
A casi 5 años de la salida de prisión de nuestro compañero Miguel Peralta la persecución continúa. ¡Libertad absoluta ya!
El próximo 14 de octubre se cumplen 5 años de que se logró la salida de prisión de Miguel, pero no así su libertad pues en marzo de 2022 el juzgado de Huautla, Oaxaca, le revocó su libertad condenándole nuevamente a 50 años de prisión, desde esa fecha hasta ahora nuestro compañero sigue en una situación de persecución política por lo que queremos hacerles la invitación a las radios y medios libres, los colectivos autónomos, anarquistas, anticarcelarios, las comunidades y barrios en lucha, a sumarse a un cadenazo radial contra la prisión y en solidaridad con el perseguido político Miguel Peralta. Pueden participar con un bloque radial de media o una hora. Igual pueden mandarnos material de audio para subirlo a la transmisión. Vamos a compartir historias, experiencias, y casos actuales de represión del Estado y lucha contra el sistema y sociedad carcelaria.
Fecha: 14 de octubre de 2024

Legal Situation of Indigenous anarchist Miguel Peralta Betanzos
What is currently happening?
Indigenous Mazatec community organizer and anarchist, Miguel is one of 35 members of the community assembly of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca, who have faced political persecution and/or imprisonment following a campaign of cacique repression, torture, and terror which came to a head in December 2014.
October 2019. After just over four years and five months in prison on fabricated charges, following growing pressure from the streets and almost a month on a hunger strike, Miguel is freed from prison.
March 2022. The Supreme Court of the State of Oaxaca revokes his freedom ordering a new arrest warrant, again imposing a 50-year prison sentence, forcing him to flee from his community.
August 2022. Los Otros Abogadoz, Miguel’s legal defense team, file an appeal against the resolution.
September 2023. The magistrate judges resolve the appeal, returning his legal process to the cross-examination stage, rolling it back more than seven years, which again he would have to face from inside prison.
His legal defense team files for revision, soliciting the Supreme Court of the Nation (SCJN) to review and rule on the appeal.
January 2024. The Supreme Court of the Nation accepts to review the appeal and has three months to rule on the case.
The legal situation of Miguel Peralta is still unresolved. He continues being persecuted by the state, subject to a legal process orchestrated and controlled by politician Elisa Zepeda Lagunas in coordination with other state authorities. We demand that the Supreme Court take account of the different human rights violations that have maintained the compañeros of Eloxochitlán imprisoned and persecuted for more than nine years. We demand a sentence of absolute freedom for Miguel.

@igd_news last night all three comuneros were freed! This is a great victory that lifts a great weight off the community and will enable more communal organization and resistance in the future. Many deep felt thanks to those who helped spread the word. #EloxLibre #laluchasigue
