FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
PROGRAM # 8145 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Almost three years after the disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa’s Normal, a rural college for the formation of teachers, the investigation into their whereabouts and of the police agencies involved in their detention has not progressed, explained the lawyer of their parents. He pointed out that the Office of the Mexican Attorney General has not investigated the actions of the Huitzuco police, nor the use of some of the student’s cell phones in that municipality after their disappearance. For their part, activists asked the House of Representatives to immediately approve the General Law on Forced Disappearances, despite the fact that this law doesn’t include sanctions for senior officials who may be involved, and it neither provides for the creation of a specialized national agency dedicated to the search of disappeared persons, or the creation of a forensic institute specialized in the identification of corpses. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
Audios: Vidulfo Rosales Sierra, lawyer; Blanca Martínez, Director of the Diocesan Center for Human Rights, Fray Juan de Larios, AC. Saltillo Coahuila; Héctor Cerezo, Campaña Nacional Contra la Desaparición Forzada.
