Twelve years after the disappearance of 43 students in the city of Iguala, in southern Mexico, their families continue to demand answers about the fate of their loved ones.
Several thousand people marched in Mexico City on Saturday, September 26, to mark the anniversary and call for full clarity on the events that took place in September 2014.
The victims' families accuse the Mexican government and army of failing to disclose all the information they reportedly hold about that tragic night.
The case of the 43 students, known as the Ayotzinapa affair, has over the years become a symbol of forced disappearances and impunity in Mexico, regularly galvanizing Mexican civil society.
Despite several investigations carried out since 2014, the location of most of the missing students' bodies and a full accounting of responsibility remain, to this day, incomplete.
