Mexico City, Sep 26 (EFE).- Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador marked Saturday's sixth anniversary of the abduction of 43 students at Ayotzinapa teachers college by apologizing to their parents on behalf of the government. "I offer you apologies in the name of the state because we are facing a great injustice committed by the Mexican state," he told the families during a ceremony at the National Palace. On Dec. 3, 2018, two days after his inauguration, Lopez Obrador signed a decree for the creation of a truth commission to get to the bottom of the case. Six months later, the federal attorney general's office established a special, independent unit to conduct the probe. (Camera: MIGUEL ANGEL ANDRADE).

Enraged protesters demanding justice for the 43 missing students set an education building in Guerrero ablaze. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
People protest to demand justice for 43 Mexican students at the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College who disappeared in the southwest state of Guerrero in September 2014. The students went missing as they were traveling by bus to participate in demonstrations in Mexico City. Investigators said that they were detained by corrupt police and handed over to a drug cartel, though exactly what happened to them is unclear. In July, a commission created in 2014 under an agreement between Mexico and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to investigate the atrocity said that the state was responsible for the concealment of vital information, making it impossible to continue its work.
