Mexico’s government and armed forces knew that 43 student teachers were being kidnapped by criminals, and falsified its investigation into their disappearance, a group of international investigators said in a report released Monday.
Mexico’s Undersecretary of Human Rights Alejandro Encinas attended the presentation of the report in Mexico City.
The Mexican government allegedly falsified and hid evidence that could have helped locate the students, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights group supporting the investigation said.
The group has obtained video footage that they say appears to show the military planting and destroying evidence at the scene where authorities later said the students were killed.
The 43 students have never been found, although burnt bone fragments were located and linked to three of them.
