Over 5000 people disappeared since 2006.
More than 15,000 people killed in 2010 alone.
At least 59 bodies found in a series of mass graves yesterday.
The statistics out of Mexico are grim as drug-related violence is seemingly out of control in parts of the country. Yet that didn't stop an estimated tens of thousands of protesters from marching in numerous Mexican cities on Wednesday. Participants in Mexico City chanted "No More Blood!" and "Not One More!" while others sought to put additional pressure on the government.
As seen in the video from Argentina's C5N news network, the protesters appear to come from all walks of life and were united in favor of a common cause: peace.
