Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom.

Mexico Says Experts Have Identified Remains of 2nd Missing Student

HeadlineSep 17, 2015

The Mexican government says experts have identified the remains of a second of the 43 students who went missing in the state of Guerrero almost a year ago. Mexican authorities have claimed the students were rounded up by local police and turned over to drug gang members, who killed them and burned their bodies at a garbage dump. A recent independent report rejected Mexico’s version of events and pointed to a role by federal police and the military in the students’ disappearance. On Wednesday, authorities said testing by experts in Austria determined a bone fragment from a site near the dump belonged to missing student Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz.
