Protesters commemorating 48 years of the Tlatelolco’s massacre arrived to Mexico City’s Zócalo to demand authorities for the solution of fairly recent Ayotzinapa and Nochixtlán cases.
Around 7,000 protesters, including members of the ‘68 Committee, parents of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa, student collectives from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the National Polytechnic Institute, the National Metropolitan University, and the June 19th Nochixtlán group, among others, gathered in “Plaza de las Culturas” square in Tlatelolco earlier today and headed to Zócalo square to express their concerns in a demonstration that hasn’t reported any violent events so far.
‘68 Committee leader, Félix Hernández Gamundi, noted that since October 2nd, the Federal Government has continuously “repressed” and “attacked” the social organizations that show the faintest sign of protest: “It’s been 48 years and even today, we are demanding justice for the case of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa who disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero, we are demanding justice for Tlatelolco’s massacre, the June 10th massacre, for the crimes committed in Acteal, Aguas Blancas, El Charco, Tanhuato and Nochixtlán. [...] these agressions are unacceptable, […] the whole world has condemned the Mexican government, and unless we (as Mexicans) are capable to make justice for these cases, impunity and lawlessness will become a ghost and demon who is galloping over us”.
