A little bit about Ayotzinapa Case:

It has been 6 weeks since the disappearance of the 43 Mexican students from
Ayotzinapa, Guerrero. Civil society groups and the international community have
demanded to know the whereabouts of the students and have clamored for justice
against
the
perpetrators.
My father was saying that the violence in Mexico is not rare, and was explaining
me too that today its hard to find peace and justice in Mexico.
Omar Garcia, a survivor of the slaughter of students from Ayotzinapa said that at
midnight of September 26th, he and his classmates had been victims of violence
and injustice. Policemen and drug traffickers had attacked them, and had been
shooting all the students and people that they had found, even when the students
had been identified and even more when they had been unarmed. Likewise, he
said that he had escaped, but several of his classmates had been murdered by
gunfire while the rest of the students had been taken away in trucks and patrols.

concludes.

In my personal opinion, I say that it is a situation that the people will never forget, is
like having a scar, a deep scar that will remind you the pain and the tragedy that
many
people
suffered,
even though they were not our family or our close one, because human sense
beats
strong
within
our
hearts.
Think about it; what would you have done if it were your brother or your cousin, or
someone
special
for
you?
As Montesquieu said, An injustice done to the individual is a threat done to
the whole society
Thank you.
