A Mexican court has ordered the Ministry of National Defense to release all documents related to the Ayotzinapa case. This ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the families of the 43 missing students, who accused the authorities of withholding evidence. According to human rights groups, the army possesses approximately 853 pages of classified documents that have not been handed over to investigators. The court ruled that the absence of these documents does not prove their non-existence, but rather serves as evidence of their concealment. The decision emphasizes the right of the victims' families to the truth and, consequently, the obligation of the authorities to provide all relevant information. The case of the missing students remains unsolved more than 11 years after the 2014 events.
