Mexico: Activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City, from 16:00 Sept. 26

Activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City on Sept. 26. Participants will gather at the Angel de la Independencia from 16:00 and march towards the Zocalo. The action will mark the 10th anniversary of the 2014 mass disappearance of 43 students in Iguala, Guerrero State. The protesters, including family members of the students who went missing, will demand justice from the authorities. City officials have indicated that they have contacted organizers to establish parameters. The event will likely attract thousands of participants.

Although the action should remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely deploy an increased police presence near the demonstration as a precaution. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely along the march route.
