Oaxaca protests leader arrested in Mexico City
Mexican police arrested the symbolic leader of a six-month-long protest movement that took over southern Oaxaca city, hours after he gave a news conference saying he had come to the capital to start talks with the government.
Flavio Sosa, whose heavy-set, bearded presence became an emblem of the leftist People’s Assembly of Oaxaca, was arrested late last night in Mexico City on charges of kidnapping, robbery and causing damages and injuries, federal prosecutors said in a press statement.
