Sew desperate

An unemployed man in Colombia has sewn shut his mouth and locked himself behind an iron mask to demand the government attends to his family's desperate economic plight.

Luis Miguel Aldana, 52, said he adopted the peculiar form of protest five days ago after being locked out of his flat in Bogota.

Instead of paying two months' rent, Aldana said he bought shoes for his three children.
