Thank you for your question.
Regarding the investigation of the disappearance of the 43, so far the case has not been solved by the government. They said that the students were killed and then reduced to ashes, but independent supervision by experts concluded that there was no strong evidence to state that. Furthermore, these experts concluded that there were severe irregularities in the investigation and demanded legal action against those responsible for the investigation. Sadly, while the chief of police in charge of the investigation was removed, but he was appointed as an assistant to the president on national security issues. The whereabouts of the students have not been found yet, and their relatives are still demanding justice in Mexico.
Regarding the other part of the question on the response of society, we think that Mexican society, more and more, is organizing to demand basic human rights. It is not easy, because there is a lot of fear in many parts of the country. Civil society is in the middle between the violence of organized crime and the violence of government officials who violate human rights, but more and more, you can see rallies, protests, and demonstrations in regard to stopping the violence in Mexico.
There is a lot of labelling of victims, a lot of saying that they are responsible for the violence and that if someone is taken away or disappears, it's because he or she was involved in some illicit activity. The work of the human rights defenders and the journalists is basically showing that this is not true, but that the victims are victims and that no one deserves to disappear—
