A top Mexican official reveals new information about the disappearance of 43 students in 2014, after last week declaring it a 'state crime' carried out under the army's watch.
abc.net.au/news/six-of-43-missing-mexican-students-given-to-army/101379358Six of the 43 Mexican students that disappeared in 2014 were kept alive in a warehouse for days before the commander of a local army base ordered their executions, a Mexican government official has said.
A soldier who had infiltrated the school was among the abducted students, and Mr Encinas asserted the army did not follow its own protocols and try to rescue him. From the beginning, there were questions about the military's knowledge of what happened and its possible involvement.The students' parents demanded for years that they be allowed to search the army base in Iguala. It was not until 2019 that they were given access, along with Mr Encinas and the Truth Commission.
Later, in a summary of how the commission's report differed from the original investigation's conclusions, there is mention of a Colonel. Mr Rodriguez said the families had been told last week, before the report was released, about the Colonel and the six students."It was the state, the three levels of government participated."
