MEXICO CITY - The Rev. Alejandro Solalinde, known for his work on behalf of Central American migrants, said he had joined the search for the 43 education students who disappeared in southern Mexico last year.

"Finding them is a good way of highlighting the high level of corruption in the entire Mexican state," the human rights activist told Efe, referring to the missing students' case.

.."Since the state took them away, we have to search across the Mexican republic, in the state's facilities, for the 43. But we are not just looking for the 43, we are undertaking a social probe, investigating what is happening at these facilities and what comes out leaves the government looking really bad," the Catholic priest said.

Solalinde last week joined the search for the missing students organized by students and residents from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

The human rights activist said he had a falling out a few months with the families of the missing students after he said the young people were dead.

Solalinde said his relationship with the missing students' relatives was good now and everyone was "very united."
