HeadlineNov 27, 2006

In the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the police have detained at least 160 members of APPO, the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca. On Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters marched in Oaxaca to call on the state’s governor, Ulises Ruiz, to resign. Dozens of people were injured after clashes broke out between the police and protesters. There were unconfirmed reports of several deaths, as well. We’ll have more from Oaxaca later in the show.
