On the 26th day of every month since then people throughout Mexico and world-wide have demonstrated support for their campaign.

The Latin America Solidarity Centre has called for a demonstration to express solidarity and demand justice for the 43, to take place at the Mexican Embassy, 19 Raglan Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 at 12 noon on September 26th, 2015 - one year after the crime.

On September 26th 2014, 43 students from a teacher-training college were
participating in a demonstration when they were rounded up by the police and -
according to reports - handed over to Guerreros Unidos, a criminal gang of drug
traffickers. They were never seen again.

The disappearance of these students has shone a light on the close cooperation which
exists between the state, political establishment, police and paramilitary drug
gangs. In spite of the alleged "war on drugs," a climate of violence,
collusion and impunity reigns in much of Mexico.

The parents of these young men and their supporters have never given up in their
search for justice and for answers.

On the 26th day of every month since then people throughout Mexico and world-wide
have demonstrated support for their campaign.

The Latin America Solidarity Centre has called for a demonstration to express
solidarity and demand justice for the 43, to take place at the Mexican Embassy, 19
Raglan Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 at 12 noon on September 26th, 2015 - one year
after the crime.

We are calling on all members and friends of LASC that share a desire for justice
and wish to be a part of this demonstration to attend a coordination meeting to plan
the event. This meeting will take place at the offices of LASC, 5 Merrion Row,
Dublin 2, on Tuesday, September 22nd at 6pm. Please come along and play your part in
this solidarity action.

43 Reasons to demand justice!
