Mexico: Massive March Demands Safe Return of 43 Ayotzinapa Students
  • 9 years ago
One year after the forcible disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students by the Mexican state, tens of thousands marched in the rain to the Mexico City Zócalo on Saturday to demand their safe return and charge the government with a cover-up. “We’re here to hold the government accountable,” said family members. Marchers expressed suspicion and distrust of the president’s recent announcement by President Enrique Peña Nieto of a new federal prosecutor’s office. International organizations such as the United Nations are also demanding that the Mexican state re-launch the case and locate the 43. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City for teleSUR
