Demonstrators in Mexico City and Guadalajara took to the streets in a march against widespread disappearances in Mexico, which groups say have reached epidemic proportions.
Carrying signs with slogans like "Where is the justice?", thousands marched in Guadalajara in Mexico's Jalisco state on Thursday, calling attention to the murder of three university students, who has been missing since March 19, by a cartel named the "Jalisco New Generation" (CJNG).
The Mexican attorney general's office announced on Monday that the three students, identified as Jesus Daniel Diaz, Javier Salomon Aceves and Marco Francisco Avalos, were killed by the cartel, which then dissolved their remains in acid.
Mexican Attorney General Raul Sanchez Jimenez said the three students were killed for filming at a house tied to one of the leaders of the CJNG. But Salomon's aunt said it was her home and she had given the students permission to film.
