A man fires a homemade mortar during a protest outside the National Assambly Building in Managua December 9, 2014. A dozen former employees of sugar cane fields urged legislators to pass a law forcing sugar mills to pay compensation for the damage to the workers' health as a result of what the protesters believe is the constant contact with pesticides and herbicides used for pest and weed control on the plantations.
