San Cristobal de las Casas, May 27 (EFE).- Some 300 people who were displaced by the armed uprising in the Mexican state of Chiapas in 1994 marched through the streets of the city of San Cristobal de las Casas on Friday to demand compensation for 42,900 hectares of land invaded by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

The protesters walked through the streets of the city for just over two kilometres to a hotel where they interrupted a meeting of the Commission for Concord and Pacification (Cocopa) with indigenous teachers, demanding their intervention with the government of Rutilio Escandón, the current governor of Chiapas.
