Relatives of Disappeared March in Mexico

HeadlineMay 11, 2012

Hundreds of family members of people who have disappeared in Mexico’s drug war marched in Mexico City on Thursday. The rally, held on Mexico’s Mother’s Day, passed through violence-ridden states before arriving in the capital. Diana Iris Garcia, whose son has been missing since 2007, criticized the Mexican government.

Diana Iris Garcia: “We have always said that the state and local governments have the power, the weapons, the resources, but have not been interested because they are not their children. They have been called collateral damage. Our children are collateral damage. They are people that have names and family names. They were honest and hard-working, and their only crime was to be honest people.”
