Disappearance Of Mexican Students Was State Sponsored Crime Says Truth Commission Mexico

The commission, created by the current administration, confirmed that the federal government, including the Mexican military and federal police, was aware of the students’ movements from the time they left the rural school’s campus in Guerrero state to their arrival in the city of Iguala where the students were kidnapped on the night of September 24. Local law enforcement officials then worked in collaboration with a large group of armed cartels and vigilantes to forcibly remove the students, the report confirmed. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador promised the families of the missing students that every government agency that answers to the executive branch would work with the commission to “get to the truth” of the case. And he promised that there would be no impunity. The Mexican army, marines and newly created national guard all provided documents, videos and wiretaps to the commission, according to the report. The case shocked the country even as the Mexican government tried to cover up the crime, insisting that only local authorities and cartel members were responsible for the crime. To date, the remains of only three of the 43 students have been identified. NEW The Mexican military has a barracks just five minutes from where the students were attacked, but the then-defense minister initially claimed troops were not on the streets of Iguala the night of the attack. A report revealed statements from nearly 40 soldiers, who had fanned out across the town of Iguala that night, searching for students who escaped the ambush. The commission revealed that the military was closely monitoring the students and did not move to rescue them from the local police who helped them disappear. He also confirmed that a soldier had infiltrated the group of students and was on the buses they had used to travel to the city. The soldier, the committee confirmed, remains missing along with the majority of the students. The committee also confirmed that the students were never taken to a nearby landfill and cremated, as the previous administration had claimed. Firefighters and medical examiners, brought in by the students’ families, had shot down the theory to the ire of the previous administration.
