In Mexico, 11 people arrested during last week’s mass protest over the disappearance of 43 students have been moved to maximum security prisons in different states. Authorities made the arrests last week after tens of thousands gathered in Mexico City’s main square to protest the students’ disappearance at the hands of police in collusion with a drug gang. The detainees face charges of attempted murder and riot. Supporters say the arrests mark an uptick in repression by Mexican authorities responding to the nationwide unrest. At a march in Mexico City Saturday, Ana Cruz Olguín said her daughter, Hillary Analí González, was detained arbitrarily and sent to a prison in the state of Nayarit.

Ana Cruz Olguín: “I am appalled by what has happened. I don’t want any other parent to experience what I am with my daughter. I hope that no other parent has to cry for their children, as I do. I hope that none of this repeats. I demand that they free my daughter. She is a good student. She is a good girl. She has never attacked anyone nor had any problems.”
