Bullfighting will return to the Mexican capital on January 28 after the country's Supreme Court overturned a 2022 ban, announces the director of the Plaza Mexico bull ring. Mexico is a bastion of bullfighting, and the more than 50,000-capacity ring in the capital is the largest bullring in the world. The tradition has been in jeopardy since June 2022, when a judge ordered the indefinite suspension of bullfights, agreeing with animal rights activists who had filed suit over the centuries-old practice. So far, only five of Mexico's 32 states have banned the practice, which was brought by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
