MOSCOW (Sputnik) — In September 2014, a group of Ayotzinapa College students heading from Guerrero state to Mexico city to protest against a proposed education reform was kidnapped allegedly by local authorities with six people killed on the spot and 43 more missing.
Following the resignation of Zeron, the country's attorney general would probe into the investigations led by the former official, the media outlet added.
In April, a report commissioned by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) accused Mexican authorities of hampering an independent inquiry by the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) into the disappearance of the students.
Experts of the five-member panel said they had been obstructed in their work and complained over lack of access to evidence they needed to establish the truth behind the suspected murder of dozens of teacher students.
