Acapulco, Aug 28 (EFE).- Mexican city of Acapulco prepared Saturday to pay tribute to the upcoming International Day of the Disappeared with potraits of 50 missing people on the mural. "The idea of this (project) is to ask people to tell us if they ever saw people on the mural anywhere, or if they ever saw when they were taken away," Sergio Ceballos, the project manager and father of a missing young woman told Efe.Behind the painted faces are the stories of mothers, children, brothers and uncles who have not been found and of those who continue to search for loved ones, and despite not being related to each other, they are currently united by the same situation, a disappearance.

But this move is being met with fierce opposition from the Korean people. Our correspondents report.
