FRANCE24 investigated a second mass disappearance of students in November (FRANCE 24 English)

The Governor of the Mexican State of Guerrero confirmed a second mass disappearance of students in the rural communities of his state. While the September kidnapping of 43 education students by police made headlines worldwide, an older kidnapping of 27 students during a midnight raid went unreported.

The mass kidnapping took place on the night of July 2, 2013, when unknown gunmen stormed some of the houses in the rural town of Cocula and took 27 students, Guerrero’s governor Rogelio Ortega Martinez is quoted in the Mexican TV station Milenio.

Ortega was interviewed about the recent arrest of Cocula’s mayor, Cesar Miguel Penaloza, who is in federal police custody and is expected to face questioning for his alleged role in the kidnapping and likely execution of the 43 students from the town of Ayotzinapa.

During the interview, Ortega said that Penaloza would likely be questioned about the 27 students that went missing in 2013 and mentioned an article by the French magazine France 24 that talked about a mass kidnapping; the publication later ran a retraction.
