In
the late hours of September 26, 2014, 43 students of the Ayotzinapa
teacher training rural college (Escuela Normal Rural Raul Isidro Burgos)
were subjected to enforced disappearance in Iguala, state of Guerrero,
Mexico. A year has passed and despite worldwide
attention, the Mexican authorities have failed to properly pursue all
lines of investigation, especially the worrying allegations of
complicity by the armed forces.
A
year after the tragic events in Iguala, an independent commission
provided an analysis that Mexico’s Attorney General failed to provide.
We must act to bring those responsible to justice. Join me in taking
action.
Let’s
join our voices and send a strong message to Mexico’s President Enrique
Peña Nieto that there is still time to show to the world that
corruption and impunity will not be tolerated in Mexico.
