On 26 September 2014, 43 students from the [teaching training college] Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos (Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, Mexico) were abducted by local police. According to a highly contested official investigation, the police handed the students over to a gang of drug-traffickers who killed them, incinerated their bodies, and threw what remained into a river. Nearly a year after the tragic event, a panel of academic experts hosted by UCL Institute of the Americas, London, discusses what's happened in Mexico since.
