In Mexico, parents of the 43 missing students have set up a protest camp in the center of Mexico City and are slated to launch a 43-hour hunger strike Saturday to mark the first anniversary of the disappearance of their children. The students went missing in the state of Guerrero after coming under attack by local police the night of September 26. An international group of experts has rejected the Mexican government’s accounts of events, saying the investigation was deeply flawed, and pointing to the role the federal police and military played in the students’ disappearance. Activists in Chicago have announced they will also hold a 43-hour hunger strike over the weekend.
