Three protesters crucified themselves in front of the State Congress building in Mexico's Cintalapa on Friday, demanding the release of an activist charged with cattle rustling who was defending the rights of the indigenous population.

The activists of the 'Peasant Front Ricardo Flores Magon' anarchist movement, Lucirelia Gomez Sanchez, Juana Gomez Gomez and Asuncion Rodriguez Gomez, were tied to wooden crosses while five other protesters sewed up their own lips to mark the beginning of a 15-day hunger strike.
