The Missing 43: Mexico Marks One Year Since Disappearance of Students

Sept. 26 marks the first anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers' college in Mexico. The students were attacked by local police and subsequently went missing from Iguala in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero. A report released earlier this month by independent experts with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights found no evidence to support the government's claim that the students were incinerated in a trash dump in a neighboring town. We speak to two journalists who have closely investigated the disappearances.
