Ten years ago, 43 young trainee teachers studying at a Mexican college known for its history of radical left-wing activism vanished in one of the most mysterious and macabre disappearances of a group of people the world has ever seen. Since then, many police and military personnel, as well as high-level officials, have been accused of crimes related to their disappearance. However, many relatives of the missing students believe there has been a full cover up.
Reporters Laurence Cuvillier, Matthieu Comin, and Ed Augustin have revisited the case of the missing Mexican students for France 24. The investigation sheds light on the ongoing struggle for justice and answers for the families of the disappeared students.
The disappearance of the 43 students has sent shockwaves through Mexico and has raised concerns about the country’s human rights record and the level of corruption within its law enforcement and government institutions. The case has become a symbol of the ongoing struggles faced by many families of missing persons in Mexico.
As the search for answers continues, the story of the missing students serves as a reminder of the importance of holding those in power accountable and seeking justice for the victims of human rights abuses. The international community continues to follow the case closely, hoping for a resolution that brings closure to the families of the missing students.
