Gilberto Rincon Gallardo, 69, one of Mexico’s most indomitable combatants in the struggle for equal rights for people with disabilities, died this week in Mexico City after complications following a respiratory complaint.

Thousands of concerned citizens will march silently in both Mexican and foreign cities on Saturday, August 30 to highlight and protest growing lawlessness in the country.

Alarmed by increasing insecurity, more Mexicans are purchasing legal firearms so they can defend themselves from well-armed criminals.
