 MEXICO CITY (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators thronged Mexico City's central square and surrounding streets on Sunday to protest the federal prosecution of the capital city mayor, a leading contender for president in 2006.
Their mouths covered with white masks, protesters in the so-called "March of Silence" filled 12 lanes of the Paseo de La Reforma in columns that stretched for several miles in a demonstration of support for Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
They carried signs with the words, "Lopez Obrador, we are with you" and said the legal case against the mayor is testing their faith in Mexico's government.
