The final report by a group of experts of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has found serious abuses and inconsistencies in the Mexican government’s investigation into the disappearance of 43 students who were kidnapped by corrupt local police in September 2014 and supposedly turned over to a drug gang that killed them and burned their bodies.
An appeals court ruling is threatening to derail Mexico’s effort to prosecute suspects in one of its most notorious crimes of recent years: the disappearance and presumed murder of 43 students in Guerrero state.
