Ericka Zamora Pardo and Efrén Cortés Chávez, arrested during a military assault in an indigenous town in the state of Guerrero, were released from prison on May 30. Eleven people, mostly civilians, were killed in the attack on a schoolhouse where campesinos and members of the rebel Revolutionary Army of the Insurgent People (ERPI) were sleeping after a political meeting on June 7, 1998. Zamora called for the release of political prisoners at a rally in Chilpancingo on May 31.
