Video clip from the International Book Fair in Guadalajarra:

Post from a friend of mine that was protesting at the event:
"We did not interrupt the International Book Fair, actually we couldn't get to it because there was a wall of armed policemen blocking us from even reaching the street. The plan was to get there, stick some posters and talk to some of the people and have a conference with some of the people invited.
When they started throwing rocks (policemen and citizens), we backed off and we had already fled about 15 meters when they started shooting teargas. That's when we started seeing people running, crying, bleeding and what they did was chase us so that they could beat us up.
The people inside of the International Book Fair were already locked in before we even got there so that the foreigners couldn't see us.
They took more than 40 people and there were more that 60 injured.
I leave this you can make your own conclusions."
This is in Guadalajarra, I can't even imagine what's going on in Mexico City.
