The State Government of Morelos, Mexico, Kidnaps Memorial Plaques of the Victims of the War on Drugs http://www.narconews.com/Issue67/article4379.html

Citizens Organize to Put the Names of the Murdered Up Again on the Wall of the Government Palace.The offering has served as the epicenter of the Movement for Peace and Justice that began in Cuernavaca on Monday, March 28, following the assassination of the son of poet Javier Sicilia and an additional six people who were found tortured and asphyxiated in a car.The offering centers on the power of the citizens’ complaint. It joins expressions of discontent, courage and an urgency of change through poems, posters, banners, murals, drawings, photographs and candles.

It also brings together the three-week effort by citizens to add their own two cents to the altar. It is a place that welcomes people after a march, where there are cultural workshops for the public, and where artistic performances of protest are held. It has become a place of civic cohesion loaded with a symbolism that puts pressure on the authorities.The offering was erected three weeks ago, without being guarded most of the time. It has been respected as a source for accumulating strong citizen opinions at the doors of the highest institution of government, letting the authorities know that that people are angry and that they will not be easily removed from their memory.
