Mexico: Outrage Marks Peña Nieto’s 2nd Anniversary; 11 Protesters Released

HeadlineDec 02, 2014

In Mexico, outrage erupted across the country on the second anniversary of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s rule, as protesters denounced state-backed violence, corruption and the disappearance of 43 students in September. Over the weekend, 11 people held in maximum security prisons after an earlier protest were released following an international outcry. Anger intensified after a university student, Sandino Bucio, was grabbed from the streets Friday by undercover police who he said threatened to rape and disappear him.
