Inside the Irish peace camp at Diez de Abril


The pictures below are from the Zapatista base community of Diez de Abril in Chiapas, Mexico. The Irish Mexico Group has had a peace camp there since December 1996. The faces of local adults who live in the community have been obscured in these photos due to the continued government repression and death squad assassinations occurring in Chiapas.
