SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico - Subcomandante Marcos, the leader of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, or EZLN, has made his first public appearance in five years in Mexico.

The guerrilla leader participated in a memorial service on Saturday for an Indian who was murdered on May 2.

Subcomandante Marcos went to La Realidad, a community in the jungles of Chiapas state, where thousands of Indians and hundreds of other EZLN supporters gathered to remember Jose Luis Solis Lopez.

Members of the mainstream media were not allowed to cover the event, but the radiozapatista.org Web site reported on the memorial service.

About 3,000 people gathered in the community, located some 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Tuxtla Gutierrez, in southern Mexico to honor the slain Indian.

Marcos appeared at around noon riding a horse and "with a pirate's eyepatch on the right eye, smoking his iconic pipe, and he met minutes later with the EZLN General Command, who were also riding horses," radiozapatista.org reported.
