Mexico’s truth commission investigating the 2014 disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa reported Friday six of them were kept alive in a warehouse for days before they were turned over to a local army commander who ordered their execution. Last week the truth commission called the disappearances a “state crime.” On Friday, hundreds took to the streets of Mexico City demanding justice for the 43 — and Mexico’s other disappeared people. This is Hilda Hernández, the parent of a missing student.
Hilda Hernández: “We want justice. A lot of evidence points to the fact that the former attorney general, Jesús Murillo, obstructed the investigation, whether by omission or participation. He has to pay. As a mother, I tell you we still feel pain. And this man has never touched his heart.”
