Crucifixion Crucifixion: Bus driver Miguel Garcete, 30, lies in a cart with his hands nailed to a wooden cross, during a protest caravan of recently fired bus drivers, in Asuncion, Paraguay, Thursday. Ten protesters, their hands nailed to crosses, caravanned to the Ministry of Labor to demand that a group of 23 bus drivers be given their jobs back. The drivers lost their jobs for forming a union, asking that shifts be cut from 12 hours to eight, and other social benefits. Simulated crucifixions have become common as a form of protest in Paraguay, because they have shown to help get demands met. (AP/Jorge Saenz) (AP/Jorge Saenz)
