Dozens of Mexico City Police Protest Working Conditions

VOA News

   Dozens of Mexico City police officers demanding better working
   conditions held a protest march, where they called on the city's mayor
   stop criminalizing their work.

   Members of the city's prosecutor's office joinedthedemonstration in
   front of city hall Monday.

   Some of the police accuse Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum of standing up more
   for the people who promote uprisingsandviolence than she does the
   police.

   Police officer and demonstrator Jose Alberto Peñaloza Saturnino said,
   officers feel powerless not being able to stop them.

   Police also are calling for the release of officers involved in the
   beating of a young girl during a march in Mexico City.

   The mayor said no formal complaint has been made to the government and
   that she will back police not linked to corruption or abuse.
