Several students from a teachers college in Mexico were killed, others wounded, and many more abducted and disappeared while engaged in political protests. Local police are the prime suspects. A mass grave has been discovered nearby. Demonstrators around the world demand the return of the students alive. In Mexico a human rights organizer comments on this case and a Mexican political asylee in the United States reports on actions of his group of exiles. Also, a representative of the largest labor union of teachers in the United States reads an open letter by the union’s national president and sent to Mexico’s president.
