The migrants viacrucis

TENOSIQUE, Tabasco.- On midnight, migrants get on board the railroad in Tenosique Tabasco. This is the beginning of a long trip on "La Bestia" (nickname of the train) where people can fall down and die or be maimed as they enter to the territory of the criminal group Los Zetas, dedicated to drug trafficking extortion and kidnapping. They should also pay an obligatory fee of around 100 and 300 USD to local criminal groups under threat of being thrown down. (Photo: Prometeo Lucero)
