PGR reviews Iguala case with international experts

Mexico's Attorney General Arely Gómez González held a meeting with the members of the Interdisciplinary Group of International Experts (GIEI) of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), as part of their collaboration in the investigation on the disappearance of the 43 teachers in training from Ayotzinapa in 2014.

On her Twitter account, Gómez González expressed that the meeting was held in order to review the "regrettable facts" of the night of September 26, 2014, in the city of Iguala, Guerrero.

Back then, municipal police from Iguala and Cocula attacked the students, killing six, and causing the disappearance of the other 43.

"With the GIEI the @IACHR reviewed the developments in the investigation of the unfortunate events that occurred in Iguala in September 2014," wrote Gómez González.

The Attorney General herself also highlighted the involvement of the former prosecutors of Guatemala, Claudia Paz, and Colombia, Angela Buitrago, and published a picture of both meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

The gesture of the Attorney General presents a contrast in regard to the attacks against both members of the GIEI, to the point that human rights organizations have risen to support them, like the Institute for Security and Democracy (INSYDE) and the Open Society Justice Initiative, as well as the Bishop of Santillo, Raúl Vera López.

In particular, Buitrago and Paz have been called "communists" by a former Colombian general.
