A Mexican official says courts have freed another 24 people who'd been implicated in the disappearance of 43 students — a case that created outrage across the country.
Courts have exonerated another 24 people implicated in one of the country's most notorious crimes, the disappearance of 43 students, a federal official said Sunday.
Deputy Interior Secretary Alejandro Encinas criticized the decision, calling it a"mockery of justice" which encouraged"silence, complicity and impunity."Seventy-four of the 142 people arrested in the case have now been freed, according to an updated statistic released by the Interior Secretary on Sunday afternoon. Nobody has yet been convicted.
Jesús Murillo Karam, attorney general under President Enrique Peña Nieto, infamously announced the"historic truth" about the students' disappearance — that they were killed and their bodies incinerated at a garbage dump.
