7/31/2002: Buried Bogota protestor

Another one: it would appear that the Colombian protestors featured here a few weeks ago were not an isolated case. Here another Colombian protestor is making a non-violent statement about poverty by having himself buried. But this gent is taking it a step further: his eyes and lips were sewn shut for the protest. The obvious message is that he is becoming as powerless as the people he is fighting for. I wouldn't have the guts to do it but you have to appreciate the guy, and the whole approach.
