Call on Mexico’s President for searches, truth and justice

The world was shocked when 43 teacher-training students were taken away by Mexican police in 2014 and never seen again. Sadly, the number of disappearances has increased exponentially since then. 

More than 114,000 people are now reported disappeared in Mexico. It’s a staggering number. But the disappeared are not statistics. They are people with families who are tirelessly searching to find them, often facing threats and even disappearance themselves, and without support that the authorities should provide.

 FAMILIES OF THE DISAPPEARED HAVE THE RIGHT TO TRUTH AND EFFECTIVE INVESTIGATIONS

The families of the disappeared joined together in self-help groups and formed a national movement. Their relentless efforts achieved the creation of a National Search System to look for the disappeared. 

But recent changes in the National Search Commission and a controversial new Disappeared Persons Search Strategy hinder efforts to find the missing. Their families are deeply concerned that the government has not ensured their participation and is no longer searching for thousands of people who were reported disappeared.
