Law School Goes on Strike for Disappeared Students in Mexico (AJ+)
Federal and Guerrero state authorities are seeking dialogue with protestors calling for justice in the Ayotzinapa case.
Mexico’s Interior Minister, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong and the new Guerrero state interim governor, Rogelio Ortega Martinez, held a two hour meeting yesterday in the resort city of Acapulco in Guerrero to discuss developments in the Ayotzinapa case.
In a press conference the two officials announced that Guerrero state authorities and the federal government will implement a plan to bridge gaps with social organizations that have been demanding the safe return of the missing 43 students from the teacher training college in Ayotzinapa.
The students were forcibly disappeared by municipal police from the town of Iguala on the night of September 26th, in an event that also left 6 dead including three students.
The announcement comes after a month of increasing protests across the country, seeing student strikes, blockades and sit-ins in public spaces, occupations and even burning of government buildings, as well as the occupation of radio and tv stations in various cities.
Some analysts and prominent human rights defenders have stated in recent days that the authorities need to listen to civil society’s demands or confront an “out of control social explosion and revolt.”
