Mexico City, January 14 (RHC-teleSUR) -- Parents of the 43 Ayotzinapa Rural College students who went missing in September met once again with the Attorney General's Office to review progress in the case Tuesday.

This is the first meeting between families of the students and government officials since the parents decided to end talks with authorities on December 16th.

On Tuesday, the parents of the rural teacher training students met with the Attorney General of the Republic, Jesus Murillo Karam, and the Commissioner of the Federal Police, Enrique Galindo.

The parents' spokesman Felipe de la Cruz said the meeting was arranged in order to monitor the decisions taken by President Enrique Peña Nieto in the case. Authorities say the 43 young men were abducted by Iguala police officers on September 26 and delivered to the Guerreros Unidos drug gang, whose members confessed to killing them.

Only one student has been identified among charred remains found near Iguala, and relatives of the young men refuse to believe the government account of the incident. Family members and supporters have said that they suspect that soldiers played a role in the events that led to the students disappearance.

Meanwhile the parents' lawyer Vidulfo Rosales, said that the protests will continue as long as the students remain missing.
