Last Update: 1:23 pm

MEXICO CITY - Students in Mexico say they've had enough of the drug violence sweeping their country.

Some 1,500 students and activists marched down Mexico City streets on Thursday to protest against violence and what they described as the militarization of the country.

The demonstrators lit thousands of candles in memory of the victims of the drug war violence.

Some students used the event to condemn what they see as ill-considered policies in the battle against organized crime.
