Mexican poet Sicilia embraces bishop Vera after signing the "national pact" in Ciudad Juarez
Mexican poet Javier Sicilia (C) embraces bishop Raul Vera after signing the "national pact" in Ciudad Juarez June 10, 2011. Hundreds of Mexicans arrived to this border city after a week-long procession through Mexico to protest the country's bloody drug war, led by Sicilia, a crusading poet whose son was murdered by suspected cartel hitmen. Human rights activists and families of victims of violence formed a peace caravan and piled into 13 buses and more than two dozen cars to set out on a 12-state tour that ended in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent drug war city on the U.S. border. The primary goal of the pact is to halt the violence of the drug war via a "peaceful revolution", said Sicilia. REUTERS/Tomas Bravo (MEXICO - Tags: CIVIL UNREST SOCIETY POLITICS)
