In Mexico City, thousands of protesters marched Thursday demanding justice for 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College who disappeared five years ago after they were abducted in Iguala.

Felipe de la Cruz: “The situation of the parents is painful, exhausting and distressing, but strengthened by all the support we receive from the population, from civil society and the new government, because we are sure we will learn the truth and the criminals will pay.”

Meanwhile, family members of the victims held a demonstration on the floor of Mexico’s Congress, holding up images of their missing loved ones. Mexican officials said Thursday that prosecutors were beginning new lines of investigation, and the government is offering a 1.5-million-peso reward for information. But so far, investigators say they haven’t turned up any new leads. A previous independent investigation found evidence the Mexican military was involved in the disappearances.
