Hundreds of people turned out Tuesday for the burial of Catholic priest Marcelo Pérez, an activist for Indigenous peoples and farm laborers who was killed in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas.
Some 2,000 mourners shouted slogans like “Justice for Marcelo.” The Rev. Pérez had worked tirelessly to bring peace to the highlands and border regions of Chiapas, where two drug cartels are battling for control.
