The silver mine has been peacefully blockaded by community members since March 16...Neither the Mexican government nor Fortuna Silver, the mine's operator, was able to reach an agreement with protesters, so police were sent in to clear the blockade...Twenty-three people, and possibly as many as 28, were detained. At least two people, and likely several more, are missing. As of May 7, the state had released 19 people, while at least four remain incarcerated...Environmental concerns are at the forefront of the protests led by Indigenous Zapotec people against Fortuna.
