In 2014 teleSUR accompanied the investigation process related to the forced disappearance of 43 students in Mexico, known as the Iguala case or Ayotzinapa case, let's see more about this topic.
00:00In 2014, Telesur accompanied the investigation process related to the first disappearance of 43 students in Mexico, known as the Ayotzinapes.
00:27Let's see more on this coverage.
00:30Hello, good afternoon. As you mentioned, we are in another march organized by the parents of the 43 disappeared students.
00:39Behind me, they are advancing.
00:44From 2014 to date, every September 26, these streets echo the claimer in the face of an unresolved injustice.
00:57The first appearance of 43 students from the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Normal School in Ayotzinapa, an event that marked a before and an after in the recent history of Mexico.
01:09The news of the tragedy in Iguala went around the world through Telesur.
01:24The call is for a thorough, exhaustive and transparent investigation into this horrible crime that has shaken Mexico.
01:33Telesur immediately launched a campaign to demand justice and the returning life of the Ayotzinapa students.
01:42The incumbent president, Enrique Peña Nieto, the last of the so-called neoliberal period, made promises he never kept.
01:57I also noted the impatience that there is, because the investigations that have been carried out will soon allow us to determine the whereabouts and expand the search for the missing students.
02:12Instead, the government sought to close the case at any cost, trying to establish the so-called historical truth.
02:19The students were deprived of their liberty, deprived of their life, and drove into the San Juan River in that order. That is the historical truth of the facts.
02:26It's the historical truth of the facts.
02:27A truth that it didn't convened any before or after.
02:28A truth that they didn't convened any before or after.
02:29It was not a fact that it didn't come before or after.
02:30A truth that they didn't have to understand the truth.
02:31Instead, the government sought to close the case at any cost, trying to establish the so-called historical truth.
02:38That the students were deprived of their liberty, deprived of their life, and drove into the San Juan River in that order. That is the historical truth of the facts.
02:48That is the historical truth of the facts.
02:50A truth that did not convince, neither before or after.
02:59To this day, the facts of the tragic night of Iguala remain unclear.
03:04At the time, Telazer obtained testimonies from those who survived.
03:09A hunt, a chase, a night of total confusion.
03:14We didn't know if we were going to be alive the next day.
03:17We should have been dead.
03:18We didn't know if they were going to find us or not.
03:23Social indignation took hold of the state of Guerrero, but also of the main streets of
03:31Mexico, where every September 26th, those who demand justice continue to gather.
03:37We need to know how they are.
03:42We want them with us now.
03:43The government of Guerrero knows perfectly well where they are being held because it was the
03:47municipal police that took them away.
03:51The families of the missing persons still hope to find them alive and made this now after
03:57a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Guadalupe.
04:00I will look for him wherever he is and bring him home.
04:09The journalistic team of Telazer in Mexico was on the scene of the news, and since then,
04:14has not ceased in its efforts to disseminate the truth and always from the treasures of
04:20those who live in pain.
04:22A national march will demand justice and ask that these events that have shaken Mexico do
04:29not go unpunished.
04:31What happened that night?
04:33Why were they violently attacked?
04:35Why did they disappear?
04:40The Easter holiday period begins in Mexico and even so the mother's fathers and friends
04:44did not stop protesting for their loved ones.
04:47Upon coming to power in 2024, the current president, Claudia Sheinbaum, promised to find the truth
04:58and bring justice.
05:03We will continue working with the relatives to achieve the truth and justice until we find
05:09all the missing young people from Ayotzinapa.
05:21It was shocking news for all of us, mainly because I have family members in them.
05:27We were still hoping that it was just a detention as it used to be.
05:37After ten years of the first disappearance of the Ayotzinapa students, Telazer gives voice
05:42to the families of the normalists by premiering the documentary Ayotzinapa, Memoria, Resistencia,
05:49a work by Victor Figueroa and Daniel Rosas, which was distinguished with the Brice Valdez Award.
05:55Through the stories of mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, in addition to the students,
06:03there is not only the pain that exists, but also the legacy of many, the collective memory
06:08and the resistance that has kept alive the demand for truth and justice for a decade now.
06:14And as long as justice does not arrive, Telazer will maintain its journalistic deployment in
