Mexicans march for the disappeared
Mexicans march for the disappeared
Thursday 6th Nov 2014
TENS of thousands marched down Mexico City’s main boulevard on Wednesday, protesting at the unsolved disappearance of 43 Guerrero state students and demanding the government find them.
Relatives of the missing students carried hand-painted portraits of their children as they joined the marchers, some of whom demanded the resignation of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
The largely young crowd carried Mexican flags with black mourning bands replacing the red and green stripes, counting off the numbers from one to 43.
Protesters also chanted: “They took them away alive and alive we want them back.”
In Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, groups of protesters angry about the government’s inability to find the missing used hijacked lorries to block all three main roads leading into the city for several hours.
