MEXICO: Beyond Iguala, all enforced disappearances
The Enrique Peña Nieto government’s hopes of closing the book on the mass Iguala abductions have been deflated by a report from the Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology (EAAF in the Spanish acronym) which says that there is no scientific support for the official version of events — namely, that the 43 Ayotzinapa students were murdered by members of the Guerreros Unidos gang and that their remains were incinerated at a rubbish tip in Cocula and cast into the San Juan river. This came after a grilling by the United Nation’s Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) and as an ‘interdisciplinary group of independent experts’ was preparing its first visit to Mexico to start scrutinising the Iguala case.
