The spokesman said ministry offi cials negotiating with leaders of the Danish and Belgian embassy take overs had made progress and added he was optimistic the issue would be resolved quickly, but declined to go into details. Two pregnant Danish Embassy employees left the mission Thursday night, but Ambassador Vagn Hoel- gaard and five other embassy staffers chose to stay despite the peasant’s assurances they were free to go. The 30 unarmed peasants mar ched into the missions Monday and vowed to stay until the government stopped stealing peasant lands and beating, torturing and even killing some peasants who complained. They demanded the government free 100 alleged political prisoners and account for 600 others who “dis appeared” over the past several years. The government has stead fastly maintained there are no poli tical prisoners in Mexico. A secretary at the Danish Embas sy told UPI Wednesday morning that the situation was peaceful, with some 19 peasants quietly passing the time in the embassy’s outer waiting lounge. The six embassy staffers locked themselves into the inner offices when they received advance warn ing of the sit-in. They have refused to leave the mission, despite the peasants’ assurances they are free to do so.
