Salt Lake City Blogs:News Blog-Dying in Mexico: "On May 8, Julian LeBaron plans to arrive in Mexico City with like-minded friends from the Mormon colonies in Chihuahua, as part of a national protest march against the ongoing death toll caused by Mexico's 'war on drugs' and the cartels' response to it.
LeBaron lost his older brother Benjamin two years ago when he was kidnapped and murdered along with his brother-in-law by heavily armed men. This was after members of the LeBaron family led by Benjamin had actively protested against a wave of kidnappings and murders that had besieged the once peaceful idylls of the three Mormon colonies a few hours from Ciudad Juarez."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
