Mexico to create new prosecutor for missing student case
Mexico to create new prosecutor for missing student case
9 minutes ago
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has announced the creation of a special team to look into the case of the disappearance of 43 students last year. He was speaking after meeting relatives of the 43 ahead of the first anniversary of the tragedy on Saturday. He said a special investigative team and prosecutor would handle the case.
The families want an international commission of experts to take over. Its report says the government investigation is fundamentally flawed.
Among the families' demands is that the government should look into the possible role of the army in the disappearance of the students. They also want an investigation into those responsible for the initial enquiry, which they believe was intended to mislead them.
The students disappeared on 26 September, 2014, in the city of Iguala in Guerrero state. They had gone there to gather for a commemoration in Mexico city.
