Mexicans protest against drug wars

Mexicans made their voices heard by taking to the streets on Sunday in protest of the drug wars that have been affecting their country for years.
 
About 20,000 protesters started marching on Thursday to Zocolo central square in the heart of Mexico City. They held up signs calling for an end to the violence and injustice the wars cause. 

Some held up pictures of family members who have gone missing or died in the drug wars. They say the wars are unjust and the government should be punished for it.
 
In April alone, the wars claimed the lives of 1400 people.
 
Mexican president Felipe Calderon launched war against drug gangs in 2006. Since then, around 38,000 people have died.
