Dozens of people took part in a protest against violence and drug trafficking in Culiacan, the capital of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman's home state of Sinaloa.

The turnout for Saturday's march was much lower than expected, organizers said.

"I feel sad and disappointed that the 'March for the Dignity of Sinaloa' was not as well attended as the one for El Chapo. We prefer to follow the narcos who poison our young people rather than supporting good causes," protester Alma Nora Ortega told Efe.

Hundreds of people turned out last Wednesday for a protest to demand that the government release Guzman and not extradite him to the United States, where he is wanted on drug and other charges - less than 100 people participated in Saturday's march in Culiacan.
