Description

Residents of the Mexican indigenous community of San Francisco Xochicuautla are battling the construction of a highway they say will put their land and way of life in jeopardy. They also charge that the government-sponsored project, which has violated agreements requiring that indigenous communities be consulted prior to its launching, will open the door to privatization and affect other villages. The residents have been fighting in the courts and through non-violent protests. Clayton Conn reports on the scene. teleSUR
