Padres de los Desaparecidos en Ayotzinapa

Ladies and Gentlemen:

May this letter serve to add our names to the worldwide denunciation of the Mexican government in light of the disappearance of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa and to affirm our decision to withhold all participation in academic and /or cultural activities sponsored by Mexican consulates in the United States or by any other entities linked to the Mexican government.

The failure of the Mexican government to acknowledge responsibility and furthermore its attempt to cover up the heinous acts perpetrated in Ayotzinapa are unconscionable and leave us further convinced that these acts constitute cases of forced disappearance carried out by the Mexican state.  There is abundant evidence of the shameful complicity of the state and local governments in Guerrero as well as in Iguala with the drug traffickers Guerreros Unidos' henchmen in the attack against these students of the Normal School of Ayotzinapa that left more than 20 wounded and 6 dead as well as 43 disappeared, whose bodies have probably been incinerated.  These crimes leave us horrified, appalled and indignant.  That the national Mexican government has cast a blind eye and sought to dismiss foreign forensic coroner reports with respect to the evidence and that the government closed off the investigation, offering its own perverse version of events, only serve to underscore that the Mexican government has no interest in bringing justice to the families and the nation.

 
More than 70,000 Mexicans have died since 2006 and more than 27,000 have been disappeared.  We stand appalled before the Mexican government's inaction and impunity and we demand justice for the parents of all these disappeared, dead and wounded individuals.  In protest, we have decided and stand committed not to participate in any official act sponsored by the Mexican government.

We are all Ayotzinapa.
