At 11th Anniversary, Protesters Attack Iguala Courthouse, Torch Delivery Trucks

Families renewed demands for missing security videos, Army intelligence files and extraditions, signaling persistent distrust of authorities.

Overview

  • Parents of the 43 and allied normalistas marched in Iguala and Chilpancingo on September 27, calling for the presentation alive of the students and justice.
  • After the rallies, protesters used delivery vehicles to ram gates at the Palacio de Justicia in Iguala, hurled petards and set several trucks on fire before withdrawing.
  • Firefighters from state and municipal services extinguished the vehicle fires, and there were reports of stones thrown at departing buses with no injuries reported.
  • Organizers pressed for the unreleased courthouse security footage that could show a group of 17 students, the Army’s pending intelligence folios and the extradition of fugitives including Tomás Zerón.
  • Crowd estimates ranged from roughly 1,500 to 2,000 participants arriving in dozens of commandeered buses, and families said mobilizations will continue as no new evidence has been disclosed.
