ADDS DATE OF ARREST - FILE - In this June 23, 2011 file photo, Mexican poet and peace activist Javier Sicilia holds his hands over his chest during a meeting in Mexico City.

Sicilia's son, Juan, and six friends were abducted by gunmen while leaving a nightclub in Cuernavaca, and their bodies were found abandoned near the city. The killing led Sicilia to become a vocal critic of the Mexican government's military crackdown on drug cartels. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo, File)
