Ayotzinapa: Ten Years Searching for Truth and Justice

Thursday, September 26, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

protestors in Mexico

On September 26, 2014, 43 students in Guerrero, Mexico were detained and disappeared by police in collusion with organized crime, leading to massive national and international protests and worldwide media attention. The investigation (and attempts to cover it up have) has persisted for 10 years and remains unfinished, as parents of the students continue to demand justice and the return of their children. New information and evidence continue to surface. RSVP HERE

Featured speakers include:

Omar Gómez Trejo: Former lead prosecutor for the case and current visiting researcher at Berkeley’s Human Rights Center

Sylvanna Falcón: UC Santa Cruz professor, founder and director of the Human Rights Investigations Lab for the Americas at the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas
