NAMES OF THE DISAPPEARED STUDENTS

NAME ADDRESS SIGNATURE

To President Enrique Peña Nieto:We, the undersigned wish to express our outrage over the actions by police in Iguala on the night of September 26th 2014, which resulted in the torture and murder of Julio César Mondragón, the killing of 3 other students of the Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos in Ayotzinapa, and the enforced disappearance of 43 additional students."!

We are deeply concerned that these are not isolated incidents, but symptomatic of a human rights crisis that must be addressed. Over the years, Amnesty International as well as respected Mexican human rights organizations have documented a massive increase in reports of torture and other ill treatment, as well as enforced disappearances by municipal, state and federal police and the military, sometimes acting in collusion with criminal gangs. The few victims of disappearances and abductions whose remains have been found have displayed evidence of torture and other ill treatment.!!

We appeal to you to reverse a shameful legacy of turning a blind eye to crimes like these, which have thrived in a climate of secrecy and impunity. We call on you to bring to justice all those responsible for the torture, killing and enforced disappearance of Julio César Mondragón and other teacher-training students of Ayotzinapa, including the perpetrators as well as the government officials whose acts of negligence or complicity made these horrific abuses possible. We also call on you to uphold your 2012 commitment to eradicate torture and other ill treatment and protect the human rights of all detainees.!!
