Mexican President to Meet with Families of 43 Disappeared Students

HeadlineSep 15, 2015

President Peña Nieto’s remarks come as families of 43 students missing in Mexico demand answers of their own, nearly a year after their loved ones disappeared in the state of Guerrero after coming under attack by local police the night of September 26. An independent report has rejected the Mexican government’s claim the students were killed by members of a local drug gang and incinerated at a garbage dump. Peña Nieto has agreed to meet with representatives of the missing students’ families ahead of the anniversary next week.
