Criminal gangs in Mexico are still carrying out mass kidnappings despite a promise by President Enrique Peña Nieto to protect the people. In the Western state of Michoacan, towns continue to join popular vigilante groups to defend themselves from the brutal Knights Templar cartel. More than 60 bodies have been recovered from clandestine graves in the area. Authorities have said they will not allow people to take justice into their own hands, but as Al Jazeera’s Rachel Levin reports from Michoacan, the self-defence groups will not give up.
