Mexico: Outrage Marks Peña Nieto's 2nd Anniversary; 11 Protesters Released 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Mexico, outrage erupted across the country on the second anniversary
of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto's rule, as protesters denounced
state-backed violence, corruption and the disappearance of 43 students
in September. Over the weekend, 11 people held in maximum security
prisons after an earlier protest were released following an
international outcry. Anger intensified after a university student,
Sandino Bucio, was grabbed from the streets Friday by undercover police
whom he said threatened to rape and disappear him.
