The families of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa have been requesting the Army for a long time to release key documents to which they have not had access in the last 10 years of investigation. According to Vidulfo Rosales, the families' lawyer, the Mexican government has launched a new investigation team that employs advanced technology to address the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas since 2014.
After a meeting of more than two hours between the mothers and fathers of the missing students and the president, Claudia Sheinbaum, at the National Palace, Rosales reported that this new investigation team is using advanced technology, including cell phone analysis, which has resulted in recent arrests in the case. This methodology focuses on the use of scientific data to clarify the facts.
Rosales mentioned that while specific details cannot be disclosed, work is being done on the subject of military files that have not yet been provided by the Mexican Army. Regarding the pending information that the families consider crucial, it was highlighted that the president has affirmed that the Army has already delivered all available information.
On the other hand, Martín Alejandro “N”, alias “El Kamala”, a suspected impliqué in the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas, was again arrested in Mexico City. The arrest occurred in the Cerro de la Estrella neighborhood, in the Iztapalapa mayoralty, as a result of coordinated investigations between different security agencies. Martín Alejandro “N” faces charges of organized crime and forced disappearance.
Although the progress is not happening as quickly as the families would like, the current focus of the investigation has renewed hope that progress can be made in the case. According to lawyer Rosales, there is a feeling that they are finally advancing in resolving this long and painful case.
