Mexico is rising up in Protest

from latinousa · host latinousa

Mexicans were shocked when police in Guerrero state arrested 43 student teachers from the town of Ayotzinapa, and reportedly handed them over to a local cartel. The shock became rage when the police said they were acting on the orders of a local mayor. The student teachers have yet to be found, and their disappearance has triggered waves of protests, including demonstrations in the Mexican state of Baja California. Baja California is geographically and historically set apart from the rest of Mexico. It doesn't have much tradition of political activism. Yet according to the Mexican government's own numbers, between 1100 and 1200 people are officially missing in Baja California. Reporter Brooke Binkowski reports on the recent outburst of protests.
