Mexico City Police Officers Suspended over Rape of Two Teenagers
----------------------------------------------------------------

Mexico City's mayor has ordered the suspension of six police officers as
part of an investigation into charges that officers raped two teenage
girls. The officers' suspension came a day after hundreds of women
protesters marched on the offices of Mexico City's prosecutor to demand
justice. Some of them doused Mexico's security minister with pink
glitter, while others broke glass windows in the prosecutor's office.
