Between the night of September 26 and the early morning of September 27, 2014, the 43 young people, normal students from Ayotzinapadisappeared in the town of Equal toin the southern state of Guerrero, prior to student demonstrations.
The Mexican president stressed that his government is committed “to making known what happened with the disappearance of the young people from Ayotzinapa.”
Yesterday, a commission of experts accused Mexican authorities of having withheld key information about the case, one of the worst episodes of violation of human rightsin Mexico, which at the time generated widespread international condemnation.
Ángela Buitrago, member of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI), a body created in 2014 by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to investigate the case, said that there has been a “simulation” by some authorities to make believe that they comply with López Obrador’s instruction to facilitate the investigations.
When presenting the group’s third report, Buitrago said that “there were people who generated a simulation in order to deliver the documents. Today there are still institutions that do not deliver” that material.
On September 26, 2014, dozens of students went to Iguala to get hold of buses that they wanted to use in demonstrations.
According to the so-called “historical truth” proposed by the government of the then president Enrique Pena Nieto (2012-2018), the young people were arrested and handed over by local police to drug traffickers from the United Warriors Cartel being mistaken for members of an enemy gang.
After being shot, his remains were incinerated and thrown into the Cocula dump, according to that thesis, rejected by relatives of the victims, the Government of López Obrador, the GIEI and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The GIEI also said that members of the Navy participated in the manipulation of evidence during the first investigations of the case in the Cocula dump.
In response, López Obrador added that the Navy leaders who participated in that operation will be investigated.
“The instruction was given to investigate the Navy chiefs who participated in that operation and all those who participated have already testified before the prosecution,” he said.
