Parents of 43 students who disappeared last year camped out Thursday near Mexico's presidential residence demanding a new investigation into their missing children, who investigators say were killed by drug traffickers.
Some two dozen parents were joined by relatives and around 100 supporters in a march that ended a few blocks from the Los Pinos presidential residency, which had been cordoned off by police.
"We demand the appointment of a prosecutor to investigate the case," said Vidulfo Rosales, lawyer for the parents, some of whom said they would not budge until justice was had.
Rosales said the families were also demanding that a technical team be established "as soon as possible," to conduct new research and searches for the students.
..."We will not go home until we see truth and justice!" said Marco Flores, the father of one of the students, who accused the military of involvement.
