“Masked lawmen clutched automatic rifles on rooftops as more than 20,000 people protested near police encampments on Sunday yelling, “Get out federal police!”
Leftists from across Mexico joined local protesters Sunday after 4,000 federal police swooped into the southern city on Oct. 29 to restore order following a five-month-old protest.
Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz, accused of rigging the 2004 election to win office and sending groups of gun-toting thugs against his opponents. The unrest has rattled President Vicente Fox’s administration, scared tourists out of Oaxaca and left at least nine people dead, mostly protesters shot by armed gangs.”
