AFP: At least 60 migrants kidnapped in Mexico: "Gunmen have kidnapped at least 60 undocumented migrants, including children, who were aboard a freight train in Mexico trying to get to the United States, a shelter director said.
Alejandro Solalinde, a priest who heads the Brothers Along the Road hostel, in the southwestern state of Oaxaca, told AFP that a dozen gunmen on Friday seized the migrants trying to make it toward the US border.
'At least 60 or 80 people, if not more, were kidnapped' from the freight train, Solalinde said, adding that women and children were among those snatched."

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.
