Voice of America | Families of 43 missing students in Mexico are still demanding justice 10 years later | VOA News @VOANews | Uploaded 1 week ago | Updated 8 hours ago
On Sept. 26, 2014, more than 100 students and teachers from the Rural Normal School at Ayotzinapa in Mexico were attacked. 43 students disappeared. A decade later, people are still demanding the truth about what happened and justice for the missing.
All countries have crimes that resonate. In Mexico, one of the modern day ones is the disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers college in 2014.
Ten years later, it's still not clear where the students from the Rural Normal School at Ayotzinapa are. Authorities believe they were killed but have only turned up small bone fragments from three of them.
The families, with the support of the school known for its radical activism, continue to demand justice. They maintain a lack of political will is responsible for not finding the truth. If it was a "state crime" as the current administration says, the government must know what happened and who is hiding information.
👉🏻 The families marked the painful anniversary Thursday, disillusioned after what they say was a decade of unfulfilled government promises.
Thousands marched with the families in the rain through Mexico's capital, demanding the truth about what happened and justice for the missing.
"The first time we came through here, who could have imagined that all of this time would pass and (we're) here again without answers," said Margarito Guerrero, the father of missing student Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz.
