Arrest warrants for abductors of the 43 Iguala students 'gives hope,' say Mexican justice campaigners

MEXICO has issued arrest warrants for 25 people accused of involvement in the abduction and killing of 43 students in 2014.

The development “gives hope that finally, the new government is making sure that the families of the victims find real justice,” Justice Mexico Now said today.

Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero marked the sixth anniversary of the students’ disappearance by announcing that “those responsible for the forced disappearance of the 43 ... are fully identified.” He said their impending prosecution contrasted with “manipulation and cover-up” by the past administration of Enrique Pena Nieto.
