Ayotzinapa at 11 Years: Families Demand Army Files as Mexico City March Ends With ‘Saldo Blanco’

Parents seek extraditions, with a UN‑linked expert team still unannounced.

Overview

  • Mexico City authorities reported roughly 4,000 participants, a police and medical deployment, and a ‘saldo blanco’ despite vandalism, firecrackers and a convenience‑store looting by about 130 hooded individuals.
  • Relatives urged delivery of 800 withheld Sedena intelligence folios tied to lines of inquiry on 17 students allegedly moved from the Iguala police Barandillas to the 27th Infantry Battalion.
  • Families said a two‑year amparo challenging the Army’s refusal to hand over the 800 files remains undecided by a federal judge.
  • Parents pressed for the extraditions of Tomás Zerón from Israel and former Barandillas judge Ulises Bernabé from the United States to face Mexican justice.
  • Days before the march, hooded groups breached Campo Militar No. 1 with a truck and incendiaries, underscoring tensions as families plan a sixth meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum in early November.
