Weekly Report - 26 March 2026 (WR-26-12)

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that progress is being made in the investigation into one of the country’s most infamous cases – the disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa teacher training college in Iguala, Guerrero state in 2014. While tensions have been growing between the students’ parents and the government, Sheinbaum insists that a new approach to the investigation process and the replacement of the prosecutor in charge of the case are paying dividends. Sheinbaum also announced that her government is seeking the return of international experts to support the investigation, in a development that could add significant credibility to the investigation and ease tensions with the students’ families.
