Mexican activist to take ‘peace caravan’ to US

Mexico City: Mexican peace activist Javier Sicilia is launching a “caravan for peace” across the US in a month-long campaign from Sunday to protest the two countries’ brutal drug war.

“We are going to explain to the North American population that behind their addicts, behind this war declared by their government, behind their weapons, there are our dead, our disappeared and a crisis for democracy,” Sicilia told reporters.
