Mothers of the disappeared protest with a giant blanket at a monument in Mexico

While the president of Mexico celebrated the traditional Shout ceremony, which commemorates the 212th anniversary of the start of the Independence movement, two mothers searching for their missing children unfurled a gigantic blanket at the Estela de Luz, a monument to the bicentennial of Mexican Independence.

The message sent rejects the military presence in security tasks in the country and forced disappearances.
