RECENT HEADLINES FROM THE WORLDWIDE INDYMEDIA NETWORK:
Mexicans protest the disappearance and massacre of 43 students calling for educational reform
Argentina Indymedia reported on protests in Mexico decrying the disappearance and massacre of 43 students who were apparently killed for their work on educational reform. Many Mexican organizations said that, on September 26th, 2014, in the city of Iguala in the Mexican state of Guerrero, state and federal police carried out violent attacks against rural students, including a shooting attack against a school bus. Six students were killed and 43 students disappeared; on October 4th, 2014, the remains of 28 people were found in clandestine graves thanks to a tip from a confession by a police officer. The context of the killings, according to one Mexican sociologist, was “a systematic campaign of criminalization of social protest, particularly on the issue of education”, under the cover of police efforts to combat drug trafficking. The targeting of rural and peasant youth has been a main objective by local authorities. On October 8th, 2014, demonstrations across Mexico decried the disappearance and massacre and called for justice.
