Several miles away, more police officers stopped another bus of students, used tear gas to get them off, then snatched them away. One of the police commanders asked him “who he should hand over the ‘packages’” to, referring to the hostages. A cartel assassin also called, asking who was bringing him “the packages,” according to his sworn statement. According to one cartel member whose testimony has become key to the case, some of the students were taken to a house, killed and dismembered. Machete hacks left gashes in the floor, the witness said, and the students’ remains were later burned in the crematory owned by the coroner’s family.

Mexico City CNN —The United Nation’s human rights commissioner on Thursday accused Mexico’s military of obstructing an expert investigation into the disappearance of 43 students in a bloody incident that shook that country nearly nine years ago. Last August, a Mexican truth commission report concluded that the students, who disappeared en route to a demonstration in Mexico City, had been victims of “state-sponsored crime.”The students, from a teachers’ college in Ayotzinapa, were intercepted by local police and federal military forces while traveling through the southwestern city of Iguala in September 2014. Survivors from the original group of 100 students said police officers and soldiers suddenly opened fire. But dozens of students on the buses disappeared that night, and their fate remains unknown. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador speaks at a morning conference on July 26, 2023 in Mexico City.

☆ Ayotzinapa: Independent experts quit Mexico over roadblocks on 43 missing students case

The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI), a committee of jurists and doctors, are in Mexico to investigate the disappearance of the students, who vanished during a visit to the southwestern city of Iguala. But after presenting their final fact-finding report on Tuesday, the experts said they faced a series of roadblocks, and would be withdrawing from the investigation and leaving the country next week. Last August, a Mexican court issued at least 83 arrest warrants for people allegedly involved in the 2014 disappearance, but so far no one has been convicted in relation to the students’ disappearance. “The reason why we are leaving is because we cannot go further without that information,” she told CNNE. “Really, we have delivered this report with what could be done, but we cannot move forward without that information… so that is the reason why we are leaving Mexico.”

"They all collaborated to make them disappear," GIEI panel member Carlos Beristain told a press conference ahead of the presentation of the group's final fact-finding report. The gang then killed the students and burned their bodies, their report said. In the crucial hours after the students went missing, at least 500 calls about the incident were recorded at a government security surveillance center, the report said.

☆ U.S. hands Mexico key suspect in 2014 disappearance of 43 college students
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-20 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +1 min

MEXICO CITY — U.S. authorities handed over a key suspect in the 2014 disappearance of 43 college students to Mexico, after the man was caught trying to cross the border Dec. 20 without proper documents. Mexico’s National Immigration Institute identified the man only by his first name, but a federal agent later confirmed Thursday that he is Alejandro Tenescalco. Tenescalco was a police supervisor in the city of Iguala, where the students from a rural teachers college were abducted by municipal police. Investigations suggest corrupt police turned the students over to a drug gang, who killed them and burned their bodies. Also, then federal Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam has been accused of inventing the government’s original account based on torture and manipulation of evidence.

MEXICO CITY — About 200 women are still in prison in Mexico under outdated anti-abortion state laws even though the Supreme Court decriminalized abortion last year, advocates said.

☆ Mexico's missing students' investigation in 'crisis,' group warns

A government Truth Commission report in August muddied the waters by presenting questionable screen captures of message exchanges as evidence, according to the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts. On Sept. 26, 2014, local police took the students off buses they had commandeered in Iguala, Guerrero. The students’ bodies have never been found, though fragments of burned bone have been matched to three of the students. The experts group said that a forensic analysis of screen captures of messages allegedly sent between people participating in the abduction and disappearance of the students could not be confirmed as authentic and displayed a number of inconsistencies. They also stressed the importance of maintaining the independence of the special prosecutor.

☆ Prosecutor leading probe into missing Mexican students resigns

MEXICO CITY, Sept 27 (Reuters) - The prosecutor leading the investigation into the abduction and suspected murder of 43 Mexican student teachers in 2014 has resigned over disagreements about the process, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday. Omar Gomez was appointed to the head the probe into the disappearances of the Ayotzinapa college student teachers in 2019 not long after Lopez Obrador came to power. "He's going to leave his post ... because he disagreed with the procedures that were followed," Lopez Obrador told a news conference following media reports about Gomez's departure. Officials say the students were then murdered, but very few of their remains have been conclusively identified. Earlier this week, Lopez Obrador - who has promised to clear up the case before leaving office in 2024 - confirmed that prosecutors had canceled 21 of the 83 arrest warrants recently issued against former public and military officials.

An independent report in 2015 from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights also backed their position, concluding that there wasn’t evidence to support the incineration of the 43 missing students at the dump. The Ayotzinapa parents have fought with the Mexican government to uncover the involvement of the military in the case. She is an expert on human rights and social justice policy in Mexico and Latin America. “This is not just a militarization of public security, it’s a militarism of parts of Mexican civilian life,” she said. “If you’re looking at the chain of command in any of these human rights cases, who knew what and when becomes important.

Relatives of the missing students take part in a march in Mexico City on Aug. 26, 2022, to demand justice for the 43 students who disappeared in Iguala, in 2014. MEXICO CITY—A new investigation by Mexico’s government aimed at resolving the 2014 case of 43 college students abducted and killed in the southern Mexican city of Iguala relied on evidence that couldn’t be verified, a group of international experts said Monday. A truth commission set up by the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to throw light on the case concluded in August that the students were killed in a “crime of the state” that involved drug gangs working with municipal, state and federal authorities, as well as military officers.
