Antonio Ruiz Gomar was in a Mexican prison when he formed a rock band with fellow inmates. Los Segregados became so popular that they were allowed to tour while still serving their sentences.

So if she sees someone with a cut finger, she herself will feel the pain of that cu Image: Lydia (l) and Margaret (r) Credit: Margaret Nankabirwa
