UNAM Alerts Continue: Prepa 3 Cleared After Evacuation, FCPyS and Zaragoza Declare Indefinite Strikes

Student-led strikes escalate following weeks of false bomb alerts on UNAM campuses.

Overview

  • Authorities evacuated Prepa 3 in Gustavo A. Madero after a reported suspicious item that the bomb squad later identified as a metal thermos with liquid.
  • Prepa 3 suspended classes until further notice following the all-clear, with local reports indicating a possible return on Monday, October 13.
  • Prosecutors in Mexico City have logged 18 complaints over false bomb threats at UNAM facilities in less than a month, underscoring a broader pattern of hoaxes.
  • FES Zaragoza began an indefinite student-led stoppage after threatening bathroom notes warned of a shooting, and the campus filed a report and offered security footage to aid the investigation.
  • The Faculty of Political and Social Sciences voted for an indefinite strike and the Faculty of Economics paused activities through October 15, while some schools reinforce protocols and advise against face coverings as students press for stronger security.
