U.S. calls Mexico to continue the investigations on Ayotzinapa

The United States congratulated the expert group of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) that investigated the disappearance of 43 Mexican students in the municipality of Iguala and called the Mexican authorities to continue with the efforts to bring the perpetrators to face justice.

The spokesman for the Department of State, John Kirby, presented an official response to the end of the investigations of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) appointed by the IACHR, in the midst of tensions with the Mexican Government.

"We commend the Commission and the experts for their work, which was requested by the Mexican Government, and for the assistance it has provided Mexico and the victims' families in working to resolve this tragic case.

"We trust the Mexican authorities will carefully consider the report's recommendations, evaluate suggested actions to address the issue of forced disappearances, provide support to the victims' families, and continue their efforts to bring the perpetrators of this terrible crime to justice," expressed Kirby on a press release.

The group of experts ended last Sunday its participation in the case with a final report on the investigation and criticizing the supposed actions of the Mexican authorities to hamper their work.
