Mexico’s Supreme Court ordered the Attorney General’s Office to release a public version of its investigation archives on Wednesday to introduce the 2014 disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College, one of the country’s worst human rights atrocities.
The case was damaged by mistakes and intervention, and the former Mexico prosecutor was arrested in 2022.
The court’s ruling was prompted by a request from a private citizen, requiring the document to be available on the prosecutor’s website and the confidential data was deleted.
For more than a decade, the government has committed to taking action to find responsible people, and the investigation has made various statements that are different about what happened to students in the southern state of Guerrero.
In 2022, investigators acknowledged that local, state and federal officials played a role in covering up their disappearances. International investigations ruled that they are likely to be kidnapped and killed by police Cahoots.
The Attorney General’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling. The Supreme Court has not specified a compliance deadline.
The victim’s family has long insisted on justice, although no one has been convicted.
