Timeline

1956

Javier Sicilia (1956, Mexico City) is a Mexican poet, essayist, novelist, peace activist and journalist in Mexico.

He contributes to various print media such as the Mexico City daily La Jornada and Proceso magazine.

1995

He was founder and director of El Telar ("The Loom"), coordinator of several writing workshops, is a film and television writer, editor of Poesía magazine, a member of the editorial board of Los Universitarios y Cartapacios, the National System of Creators of Art since 1995, and is a professor of literature, aesthetics and screenwriting at Universidad La Salle at Cuernavaca and was director of the now-defunct magazine Ixtus.

Sicilia inherited his love of literature and poetry from his father, who was also a poet.

An avid reader of Saints Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, Sicilia is a poet whose themes are linked with Catholicism and Christian mysticism.

Later he met the Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich, and Sicilia has since become one of the main promoters of Illich's thought among Mexican intellectuals.

As a contributor to Proceso and as the editor of the magazine "Conspiratio", Sicilia writes about various current philosophical, artistic and literary topics.

2009

In 2009 he was awarded the Aguascalientes National Award in Poetry, one of the most prestigious honors in Mexican literature.

2011

In 2011, TIME Magazine named The Protester as its Person of the Year, and Sicilia was profiled in the accompanying "Profiles of Protesters" series for his work in organizing the 2011 Mexican protests.

On March 28, 2011, Sicilia's son Juan Francisco Sicilia Ortega was murdered along with six other victims in Temixco, Morelos, Mexico, by drug gang members.

Two of Juan Francisco's friends were assaulted by policemen who were working with the Pacífico Sur drug cartel as muggers.

The friends reported the attack, and the attackers turned to the Pacífico Sur cartel for help.

On March 27, 8 Pacífico Sur cartel members, including an infamous member named El Pelón, kidnapped the two victims as well as four other friends and Juan Francisco from a bar, murdering the group by suffocation.

In response, the poet led protests in Cuernavaca with satellites of support held in numerous other places throughout Mexico.

The protesters have called for an end to the Drug War, the retreat of military forces from the streets, the legalization of drugs, and the removal of Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

Protests have occurred in over 40 Mexican cities, including an estimated 50,000 in Cuernavaca and 20,000 in Mexico City.

The rallying cry of "Estamos hasta la madre!" ("We've had it up to here!") was used during these protests.

On April 3, 2011, Sicilia announced in an open letter "To Mexico's Politicians and Criminals" a second protest, a "National March for Justice and against Impunity," which started on May 5, 2011, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, and arrived on May 8 at the Zócalo in Mexico City, where over 200,000 people attended.

Before the beginning of his speech, Sicilia demanded that the Mexican President retire Genaro García Luna from his post as Secretary of Public Security.

A six-point national pact that searches for the social fabric's refounding was read at the same protest.

Other related protests occurred the same day in over 31 Mexican cities and 17 cities over the globe.

2013

In January 2013, he met with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto to discuss assistance and memorials for victims of violence in Mexico.
