Mexico City, December 23 (RHC-teleSUR) -- Mexico has approved the first comprehensive plan for reparations to one of the families of the victims of the Ayotzinapa case, the infamous attack on September 26, 2014 when police opened fire on protesters and arrested 43 students who were later disappeared.

The Executive Committee for Victims Assistance (CEAV) on Tuesday approved the reparations for the family of David Joshua Garcia Evangelista, a soccer player who was killed during the incident last year in Iguala, Guerrero. The young man was one of six people killed that night when police opened fire on protesters and students.

“The reparation is an obligation that is in the General Law on Victims and this is an achievement of civil society,” said Rochín del Rincón, president of the committee.

The compensation, which was unanimously approved by the committee, includes measures such as the allocation to the family of a permanent legal adviser to track the case, psychological care programs, education scholarships and economic compensation.

According to a statement released by CEAV, the committee is still studying and processing other cases related to the victims of what occurred in Iguala in September of 2014.

However, no particular mention was made of the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa training school who were disappeared that evening. Families and supporters of the students continue to push the government for clear answers as to what happened.

Only the remains of one of the students has been found and parents, forensic specialists, and human rights organizations have questioned the government's official story that the students were handed to a local gang called Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors), burned and then dumped into a local river.
