Mexico has arrested an Army general accused of involvement in the deaths of the 43 students who disappeared on their way to a demonstration in 2014, authorities said, a crime that shocked the country but remains unsolved.
Rodríguez Pérez is the highest-ranking military officer arrested in the case. Warrants for three others also were issued this week, according to Mexico’s deputy security minister. Two of them were detained; one remains a fugitive.“Four arrest warrants have been issued against members of the Mexican Army,” Assistant Public Safety Secretary Ricardo Mejía told reporters Thursday.
Six of the disappeared students “were turned over to the colonel,” Alejandro Encinas, Mexico’s undersecretary for human rights, said at a news conference last month. The students were commandeering buses, a local custom, to travel to the demonstration in Mexico City. Encinas said they probably unwittingly stole a bus loaded with drugs or money.Local law enforcement officials forced them off the vehicles. It’s unclear what happened next, but Encinas has said that state and federal officials neglected to stop the kidnapping and rescue the students, though they could have.
