Six of 43 missing Mexico students were given to army: Official

Six of the 43 students “disappeared” in 2014 were allegedly kept alive in a warehouse for days then turned over to the local army commander who ordered them killed, the Mexican government official leading a Truth Commission said on Friday, Qazet.az reports.

Interior undersecretary Alejandro Encinas made the shocking revelation directly tying the military to one of Mexico’s worst human rights scandals, and it came with little fanfare as he made a lengthy defence of the commission’s report released a week earlier.
