Originario de tierras indígenas y campesinas, fue un guía de las luchas más profundas y la voz de muchas voces que buscamos ser protagonistas de la historia. Se oponía al despojo de las tierras de si pueblo y al desastre natural que implicaría la construcción de la Termoeléctrica de Huexca. Lo asesinaron en la puerta de su casa. Lo asesinaron en democracia. El Estado no se hizo responsable.
Dijimos nunca más y no permitiremos que la muerte se vuelva costumbre. No olvidamos, no perdonamos. Juicio y castigo para los responsables. ¡Nunca te borrarán de nuestra memoria!
¡Samir somos todas y todos!
