FOR THOSE THAT SPEAK SPANISH HERE IS THE DIRECT COMMUNICATION FROM THE LAWYER.
THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS BELOW IT...
FOR NOW PUT THE WORD OUT!!!!


COMUNICADO DE LA OFICINA DEL ABOGADO CARLOS MORENO
Caso Victor Toro: Decision Insolita
La Jueza de inmigracion, Sarah Burr, ha negado, inexplicablemente, la aplicacion de asilo politico presentada por Victor Toro. La evidencia presentada y el testimonio de Victor Toro fueron de tal magnitud que ningun juez objetivo podria negar la peticion de asilo presentada por el ex-preso politico chileno.
La Jueza Burr concluyo que Victor Toro tomo mucho tiempo para presntar su aplicacion de asilo y que las condiciones politicas en Chile han cambiado lo suficiente como para que Victor pueda regrasar a Chile sin problemas. Esa conclusion por parte de la jueza Burr ignora el testimonio presentado por Victor Toro.
El equipo legal de Victor Toro expreso preocupacion desde el momento en que los abogados del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional introdujeron el fantasma del “terrorismo” en el caso Victor Toro. La preocupacion era de que la acusacion de terrorismo, aunque infundada, evitaria que la corte decidiera el caso justa y objetivamente. La decision de la jueza Burr demuestra que nuestra preocupacion era validad.
PREGUNTAS SIN RESPUESTAS
Como puede justificarse la negacion de asilo politico a un hombre cuyo trabajo politico y social es la esencia de lo que debe ser el asilo politico? Como se puede ignorar la persecucion sufrida por Victor Toro durante la dictadura military de Augusto Pinochet, financiada por Estados Unidos? Como puede minimizarse el riesgo que encaro y encara Victor Toro como blanco de Operacion Condor?
APELACION! APELACION!APELACION!
Apelaremos lo que consideramos como una decision injusta, irracional e inexplicable. Levantaremos nuestras voces hasta que los circulos de poder mas alto de Estados Unidos nos escuchen.

From the office of Carlos Moreno, Victor Toro's Lawyer.
Victor Toro's Case: Unusual Decision
Immigration judge Sarah Burr, has inexplicably denied, Victor Toro's application for political asylum. The evidence presented along with Victor Toro's testimony were of such magnitude that no objective judge could have denied the petition for asylum presented by the Chilean former political prisoner.
Judge Burr concluded that Victor Toro took too long in presenting his application for Political Asylum and that the political conditions in Chile had sufficiently changed so that Victor Toro can return to Chile without problems. This conclusion by Judge Burr completely ignores the testimony presented by Victor Toro.
Victor Toro's legal team expressed concern since the moment lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security introduced the idea that Victor Toro was linked to "Terrorism" or a "Terrorist" himself. The concern was that the accusation of terrorism, though unfounded, would not allow for the case to be judged justly and objectively. The decision by Judge Burr shows us that our concerns were valid.
Answers Without Questions:
How can the denial of his political asylum request be justified? Especially for a man whose political and social work are the very essence of what political asylum should be? How can they ignore the persecution and suffering felt by Victor Toro during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, a dictatorship which was financed by The United States. How can the risk he faced as a target by The Operation Condor be minimized?
APPEAL! APPEAL! APPEAL!! APPEAL!
We shall appeal what we consider to an unjust, irrational and inexplicable decision. We shall lift our voices until the highest circles of power in The United States hears our case.

Bronx 12 News visits RDACBX

On Monday March 7th, we got a visit from our friends at Bronx 12 news. They always show us love, theyve been covering the RDACBX since before it was the RDACBX. When Rebel Diaz, Waco Division and Circa95 before they were Circa95 were doing shows at The Rock Garden on 160th and Elton. After The Daily News article they decided to come and pay us another visit. Thanks BX 12 News!

Rebel Diaz to continue as a duo.

Bronx, NY, (February 28, 2011) - REBEL DIAZ, the political Hip Hop trio out of Chicago via The South Bronx, will now be continuing their career as a duo. Teresita Ayala, known as Lah Tere, has resigned from the group. In an email sent on February 15th she stated, “After a lot of thought and consideration, I have decided to resign from Rebel Diaz. My personal health and wellness needs my undivided attention and I have made a commitment to make this a priority once and for all.”

RodStarz and G1 will continue performing as Rebel Diaz and working as a part of The Rebel Diaz Arts Collective (RDACBX), the Hip Hop community space they opened in The South Bronx in 2008. Teresita Ayala also resigned from the work of RDACBX for the same reasons. “We believe the work of Rebel Diaz is larger than the individuals that make the group. We will continue working in our community with the RDACBX and seek to continue spreading our political message throughout the world with our music,” says RodStarz.

Rebel Diaz’s debut album, THE RADICAL DILEMMA, will be released in the upcoming months. "We wish Teresita the best in her quest for personal wellness and health. We look forward to making new music that addresses the struggles and victories of our community,” says G1.

Rebel Diaz will be performing at this year’s South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) in Austin, TX, in the upcoming weeks.

YC the Cynic Release Party for FALL FWD a Huge Success!!!

Tuesday March 1st, 2011 is a new historic date in RDACBX history. Thats the date that YC the Cynic made a huge splash on the scene, with the release of his 2nd Mixtape Fall:FWD. My dude has been working harder than the next man for the last 2 years and it is evident by his latest release that he's only getting started. On the new release he shows us that YC the Cynic wordplay that only he can do, along with some new double time flows and of course more of that boom bap style we all love.
His release party was a huge success. For a Tuesday in NYC's saturated market, it was a sell out crowd., which shows us how YC's grind is paying off. Rebel Diaz was blessed to share the stage with the homey, as well as Dj Charlie Hustle holding it down on the 1s and 2s. RDACBX family- Dj Ethos from Los Angeles was able to make it out and wowed the crowd with a crazy DJ display during Rebel Diaz's set. One of my favorite crews was The Underdogz. Consisting of long time YC collaborators; Otis Clapp and Warren Britt, they got the show started off with their high energy live show. As a matter of fact, Otis Clapp's "Gifted" song has been on repeat on my YouTube account. They were followed up by Scienze and Sene who also had dope live shows and helped warm the crowd up. The show was hosted by GrindTime Champion and Brown Bag All Star- Soul Khan. My man should also do live comedy cuz hes a pretty hilarious brother. Props to him for a great job hosting and performing. After our set, is where the show started to get crazy, after a dope set from Soul Khan, the Main Event aka YC the Cynic hit the stage. My homey had half of NYC's underground elite support him with the cosigns as he brought on Homeboy Sandman, J-Live, C-Rayz Walz, Von Pea from Tanya Morgan, and Final Outlaw. The C-Rayz Walz freestyle was a classic moment. My man went off the top of the dome and murdered it. The live performance of "More and More" was one of the highlights of the night for me. YC, Von Pea, Soul Khan and Sene absolutely killed the track! all in all, it was a dope night for the RDACBX, for our little bro YC the Cynic and for Hip Hop in general as we welcomed one of our bright and shining stars.

4 Burners: Pieces out the RDACBX!!
