Parents of 43 students who went missing in Mexico in 2014 staged protests in front of embassies in Mexico City to demand long-term follow-up on the disappearances.

Thursday marked 20 months after the disappearance of the students in Iguala, in the state of Guerrero, EFE news reported.

Parents and relatives divided into four groups and went to diplomatic offices, where they delivered a document with their demands.

The embassies of Spain, Germany, Brazil, China and Ecuador were some of the key offices outside where the protests were staged. They also traveled to the headquarters of the Delegation of the European Union.

They later gathered at the monument known as 'the Angel of Independence' and began a march towards the office of the Attorney General.
