Mexico City, December 4 (RHC)-- Mexico’s newly-inaugurated president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has ordered the creation of a truth commission to re-examine the kidnapping and murder of 43 students who disappeared after they were attacked by cartel gunmen and corrupt police officers.

The president promised the commission will investigate all angles of the September 2014 attack in the city of Iguala, 185 km south of Mexico City, which targeted students from the Ayotzinapa college.

Families of the missing students repeatedly expressed their frustration with the official investigation of the previous government, which was based partly on confession obtained through torture, and which was not allowed to examine the activities of the Mexican army on the night of the attack.

“I assure you there will be no impunity in this sad, painful case nor in any other,” López Obrador said at announcement in the National Palace.

“I hope that we will soon know the truth. That there’s justice and an example is set so never again human rights are violated in our country, so that no other Mexican suffers the disappearance of their children.”
