Bullet hole

( Richard Fausset / Los Angeles Times )

Leopoldo Soberanis, a self-appointed human rights advocate in the Costa Grande region of Mexico's Guerrero state, stands near one of the bullet holes in the offices of his new human rights organization in the small city of San Luis de la Loma. Soberanis has been trying to bring attention to the ghost pueblos in the mountains near his home, and in so doing has criticized both the Knights Templar drug cartel and the Mexican army. Soberanis says he has been threatened by both.
