NGOs: Follow-up mechanism for Ayotzinapa case must have the Mexican government’s full cooperation

Mexico City, 10 November 2016.– PBI and eleven international and regional human rights organizations released a public letter addressed to Mexican President Peña Nieto regarding the special mechanism developed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) that is providing follow-up on the case of the 43 disappeared students from Ayotzinapa. The signing organizations urged the Mexican government to cooperate fully with the follow-up mechanism so that “its work does not face obstacles similar to those that the [Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts] GIEI experienced during its mandate”.
