Thousands protest in Mexico City demanding answers on 43 missing teacher trainees

In Mexico City on September 26, 2026, thousands of protesters, led by parents of the 43 missing teacher trainees from Ayotzinapa, demonstrated to demand answers on the 12th anniversary of their disappearance. They wore red and carried symbolic coffins. President Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to present a report on the case on September 28. The students disappeared in 2014 after a clash with police in Iguala. Prosecutors' initial explanation was rejected by human rights experts. More than 134,000 people are listed as disappeared in Mexico.
