“Mexican federal police advanced into the center of Oaxaca City on Sunday, firing tear gas and water cannons at protesters who have been camping there for months. The demonstrators, from the People’s Popular Assembly of Oaxaca (APPO), are calling — among other things — for the resignation of Gov. Ulises Ruiz, and their protest, which started out in May as an annual teachers’ strike, has grown increasingly violent and widespread of late. By late Sunday, police were advancing on a group in the central plaza who were slowing their advance by burning tires and trash and, occasionally, throwing rocks.”
