In Mexico, family members of people who’ve been disappeared scattered soil across Mexico City’s National Palace Monday as part of a protest demanding justice for their missing loved ones. This is one of the relatives.
Relative of disappeared person: “If President Andrés Manuel López Obrador does not go to the graves, then the graves go to Andrés Manuel López Obrador, so that he realizes what we are suffering in the state of Guanajuato. It is not a lie. It is an issue at the national, state and municipal level. We are suffering.”
Mexico’s government estimates there are over 60,000 missing people in the country — the vast majority of them victims of the U.S.-backed so-called war on drugs.
