One month has passed since 43 students went missing in Mexico

  • 10 years ago
It has been one month since 43 Ayotzinapa teaching college students disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero. They were kidnapped by orders of the now fugitive Iguala mayor and his wife, for whom arrest warrants have been issued. The Guerrero state officials and police involved have been linked to drug cartels. The state governor has resigned in light of the scandal and a new one has been appointed. As authorities do far too little, citizens groups searching for the students continue to find one clandestine grave after another, but according to authorities, none of the bodies found in the graves are those of the missing students. Protests continue across Mexico and abroad in solidarity with the missing students and their families. teleSUR
