Mexican president gets protest about "disappearances" during White House visit

On the 6th of January, Mexican president Peña Nieto visited the White House. Outside were protesters against his government, which is known to have conspired with drug cartels to massacre 43 students from aúl Isidro Burgos Ayotzinapa Normal School in Iguala, Mexico.The students were handed over to the Guerreros Unidos crime syndicate after police stopped their busses, 43 out of about 100 teaching students were killed. Protesters are saying responsibility for this goes all the way to the top, and that Enrique Peña Nieto is not welcome in DC.

Below is a a statement released by the organizers of this protest:

THE MASSACRE IN IGUALA AND DISAPPEARANCE OF 43 TEACHING STUDENTS FROM AYOTZINAPA IS JUST ONE AMONG MANY STATE CRIMES...

In spite of the international outcry, Obama and his administration continue to support the outrageously corrupt and criminal government of Peña Nieto with millions of dollars through Plan Mexico. Therefore, the United States and Obama are also responsible for the current tragedy in Mexico.

As part of the mobilizations in Mexico and in solidarity with all victims of the Mexican government, including the 43 disappeared students from Ayotzinapa and their families, SOA Watch, USTired2, and MEXICAN@S SIN FRONTERAS (in coordination with other groups) call for bringing Mexicans abroad, our friends in solidarity with Mexico and the people of the United States, organizations and social movements to participate together in a Day of Protest against Enrique Peña Nieto's visit in the United States.

We invite to peaceful demonstrations all across the US, in front of embassies and consulates in other countries as well as in Mexico, because

THEY TOOK THEM ALIVE AND WE WANT THEM BACK ALIVE!
