Mexico: Death Toll from Earthquake Tops 300 as 2 More Quakes Strike South
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Mexico, the death toll from last week's devastating
magnitude 7.1 earthquake has risen to 305 people, as southern Mexico was
shaken by two more earthquakes on Saturday. Among those who died in last
week's earthquake are garment workers who were buried after their
factory collapsed. This is garment worker organizer Gloria Juan Diego
Monzón.

Gloria Juan Diego Monzón "The conditions are the same as 1985. That is
why we are here. It is painful to see that here, in this space, just as
what happened in San Antonio Abad, there were so many bodies taken away.
There were so many bodies trapped in the rubble. And today, just as they
did 32 years ago, they hide how many bodies they really found and how
many have died. That is why we came out here: to keep on struggling from
each of our own spaces."
