While President Obama hosted Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto at the White House, human rights groups wanted Obama to press the Mexican government on its failure to investigate and prosecute abuses by state security forces.

The meeting came on the heels of an explosive new report that directly contradicts the Mexican government’s claims they were unaware of what happened the night 43 students went missing after an attack by local police in the state of Guerrero.

According to the Mexican magazine Proceso, federal police played a role in the attack, and federal authorities likely tortured key witnesses. The case has ignited protests across Mexico and around the world.
