Mexico City: Parents of 43 students who disappeared in Mexico in 2014 have called on President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to keep his word.
Protests took to the streets of the capital on the eighth anniversary of the student's disappearance.

On September 26, 2014, forty-three students from the Ayotsinapa Rural Teachers College were forcibly abducted in Iguala, Mexico and subsequently disappeared. They were detained by local police officers from Iguala and Kokula for conniving with organized crime.

Last month, the parents said they had a glimmer of hope in the case after Jesus Murillo Karam, the country's former top prosecutor, was arrested in the case.

But after Murillo, who remains imprisoned, was granted a temporary suspension of his trial, and after almost two dozen arrest warrants for other suspects were cancelled, the student's parents say they feel like they're being played with.

"To be honest, it feels like they're making fun of us," said Blanca Nava, the mother of one of the missing students.

The report said the initial investigation into the incident led by Murillo, dubbed the "historic truth," was riddled with errors and that all levels of government had been involved in the boys' disappearance and a subsequent cover-up.

The 43 students were on their way to Mexico City from the Pacific state of Guerrero when they disappeared. Only three bodies have been found.

Last week, the Mexican newspaper Reforma published an unredacted version of the August report, naming the officials allegedly involved.

Since then, the protesters, who include current students at Ayotsinapa, have taken a harsher tone. Last week, protesters broke down the entrance to a military base in Mexico City and threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at soldiers.
