A small group of protesters sat on camping chairs outside Mexico’s attorney general’s office Tuesday to show support for 43 missing students and political prisoners.

The small group was surrounded by tents and banners featuring ideological messages that read, “The working class will win the fight in the streets,” and “Sit-in for the 43 missing students, for all disappeared people and for the political prisoners.”

Organized by the East Front, an organization based in Mexico City that fights for the rights of activists and the working class, the sit-in began four days ago.

The group hopes to maintain pressure on the administration of President of Enrique Pena Nieto in the case of the 43 missing students, who disappeared Sept. 26 after clashing with police in southern Mexico.

The East Front said it also wants to put an end to the persecution of civil and political organizations and social activists.
