Aquí estoy yo intentando explicar la compleja situación jurídica del compa Fidencio Aldama en mi español mediocre.

"From Prisoner to Political Pawn: Fidencio Aldama's Ongoing Struggle and the Mirage of Freedom" by taller ahuehuete

"On July 14, Fidencio was finally released from prison, presumably establishing that his freedom was absolute and that he had been declared innocent of the charges. However, on July 20, he received a notification from a sentencing enforcement court informing him that he was, in fact, still confined in a form of semi-liberty. This status requires him to return to prison every evening at 8 PM and compels him to spend the night in jail, only allowed to leave again at 8 AM the following day. This Sisyphean cycle –– scheduled to persist for the next seven years and three months — demonstrates how the remaining sentence (his original 14-year term) was not eliminated but prevails in a different form."

Preso político yaqui Fidencio Aldama «no está libre», juez le otorgó semilibertad en Sonora

"El preso político yaqui Fidencio Aldama, cuya presunta libertad después de siete años en la cárcel fue anunciada el pasado 14 de julio, fue notificado este 20 de julio de una resolución judicial que le concedió el sustitutivo de prisión de tratamiento en semilibertad, con lo que tendrá que acudir todos los días a las ocho de la noche a dormir en el Centro de Readaptación Social de Ciudad Obregón, denunciaron el Grupo de Apoyo a Fidencio Aldama y Los Otros Abogadoz."

Important update regarding Fidencio Aldama's "freedom":

Fidencio was given a ruling of semi-freedom. So long as Fidencio has to set foot in a prison, he is not free and remains a political prisoner and a hostage of the state.

Semi-freedom means that Fidencio must report to prison every night at 8pm, where he will be held until 8am the next morning. That he must go to work, then to school, and then return to prison, for the next seven years and three months, the time he has left in his 14-year sentence.

Actualización importante sobre la "libertad" de Fidencio Aldama: Fidencio recibió una resolución de semilibertad. Mientras Fidencio tenga que pisar una cárcel, no está libre y sigue siendo un preso político y un rehén del Estado.

La figura de la semilibertad implica que Fidencio acuda todos los días a las ocho de la noche al Centro Penitenciario y se interne, para que salga al otro día a las ocho de la mañana, se vaya a trabajar, posteriormente a la escuela a estudiar y después ingrese nuevamente a la prisión, durante 7 años y tres meses, tiempo que le resta por cumplir de una pena de 14 años a la que fue sentenciado.

"Where There is Water There is Growth: Yoeme Land and Water Rights" by Thalia Gomez Quintana

"The Aqueduct of Independence and settler desires of natural resource extraction in the Yaqui reserve demonstrate forms of settler colonization working in unison formulate the displacement and death of Yaqui community members and opens up the Yaqui homeland for settlement. For over ten years now the homeland has seen a rise in stillbirths, sterilization, pesticides in mothers’ milk, forced migrations, skin diseases, stomach ailments and cancer."

Message from Yaqui political prisoner Fidencio Aldama to the national assembly of the National Indigenous Congress:

"I carry in my blood, flesh, and skin this grand history of the Yaqui nation, which has for centuries struggled against extermination, violence, and territorial dispossession."

"This future will be governed by the following ideals: to serve and not be served, to build and not destroy. And, as I have always said: I do not attack, but rather defend what is ours, what our ancestors have left us."

In the 1910s my grandparents and great-aunts and great- uncles were born in a state of fugitivity, as their families fled a genocide against our people in Mexico. To strengthen the Yaqui Nation, they, along with others, established a community called Old Pascua in Tucson, Arizona, and continued in privacy our ancestral religion and mother tongue, hiak noki. Yesterday, to prevent urban encroachment, the Senate passed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act. #yaqui #tribalsovereignty #pascuayaquitribe #indigenousknowledge Congratulations to everyone who helped support this effort. #ancestralwillpower
