To

Brothers
and Sisters:
First
and Only - We are informing you that, since the middle of 2002, the EZLN has
been engaged in a process of reorganizing its political-military structure.
This internal reorganization has now been completed.
We
have the necessary conditions in place to survive an attack or enemy action
that would do away with our current leadership or which would attempt to
annihilate us completely.
The
chains of command and the succession of responsibilities have been clearly
established, as well as those actions and measures to be taken in the event of
being attacked by government forces and their paramilitaries.
The
CCRI-CG of the EZLN is letting it be known that conditions are in place to
continue leading the Zapatista struggle even if it were to lose - be it through
jail, through death or through forced disappearance - some or all of its
publicly known current leadership.
That
is all.
Democracy!
Justice!
