On the night of June 2, 2008, the Zapatista prisoners Ángel Concepción Pérez Gutiérrez and Francisco Pérez Vázquez were released from the State Center for the Social Reinsertion of Sentenced Prisoners (CERSS) #14 in Yajalón, Chiapas. They had been incarcerated since 1996 for a case of homicide. Until April 24, they were detained in the prison of Tacotalpa, in the neighbouring state of Tabasco; that day they were transferred to Yajalón. The legal justification for their liberation has yet to be made public.
