Oaxaca demo reaches Mexico City

Thousands of protesters from Oaxaca have marched to Mexico City to demand their state governor's resignation.

They accuse Ulises Ruiz, governor of the southern state, of rigging elections and using brutal forced to put down protests.

The protesters have been involved in a bloody struggle with security forces in which five people have died since May.

Mr Ruiz has denied any responsibility for the violence and has refused to step down.
