Mexico: Parents of Missing Children March in the Capital on Mother's Day
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, mothers of children who have disappeared gathered in Mexico
City to demand justice for their loved ones. Monica Orozco and Gregoria
Ortiz, two mothers of missing sons, spoke out about why they do not
celebrate Mother's Day.

Monica Orozco: "No, we don't celebrate. We search. We search for justice
and look for our children, our children who were taken away, and the
government does nothing to look for them."

Gregoria Ortiz: "The authorities should make an effort to return our
missing, who aren't just the 43, but thousands of missing people. And
this figure goes up every day."
