DO YOU KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE?

OR ONE OF THEIR PARENTS?

YOU WOULD BE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS AS THEM

YOU WOULD BE ON STRIKE FOR THE SAME REASON

SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2014:

STUDENTS FROM THE AYOTZINAPA RURAL NORMALIST SCHOOLS

(WHO STUDIED EDUCATION) WENT TO IGUALA (ONE STATE OF THE COUNTRY) TO PROTEST

THEY ASKED THE STATE TO HAVE BETTER SCHOOL CONDITIONS

VERY LITTLE IN THE SCHOOL FULFILLED THEIR BASIC NEEDS

AS PEOPLE NOR STUDENTS

ON SEPTEMBER 26TH AT NIGHT,

THEY WERE CAPTURED BY THE STATE POLICE BY THE ORDERS OF

THE STATES´ GOVERNOR

THE POLICE STARTED SHOOTING THE STUDENTS:

6 PEOPLE DIED, AND

57 DISAPPEARED

57 STUDENTS WHO STARTED THE STRIKES AND PETITIONS

AS WELL AS HUMAN RIGHTS DEMANDS HAVE DISAPPEARED

NOW

14 WERE FOUND 43 WERE MISSING

43 ARE STILL MISSING

THE NEWS AND THE GOVERNMENT TRY TO LIE BY SAYING:

THE STUDENTS WERE CAPTURED BY THE GUERRERO´S UNIDOS GROUP,

BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE

IT WAS THE STATE

EVER SINCE, THERE HAVE BEEN MASSIVE

STRIKES WITH STUDENTS, TEACHERS,

PARENTS, AND MANY CITIZENS

THE STRIKES

MORE THAN 100 SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS MANY UNIVERSITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORD

HAVE GONE ON STRIKE AND HAVE CANCELLED ACTIVITIES

IN SUPPORT TO THE AYOTZINAPA STUDENTS

The enemy is bigger if you look at him whilst kneeling

THE DEAD BODIES OF THE STUDENTS WERE FOUND BURNED

BUT THERE WILL BE

JUSTICE

I CAN´TTEACH MY CLASS,

I´M MISSING 43 (STUDENTS).

I DON´T WANT YOU MISS METOMORROW.

# WE ARE ALL AYOTZINAPA

We don´t forget. I got tired of being afraid. Only the people can save the people

Mexican students in Thailand

I am not afraid of state repression

I fear people´s silence

I

It seems that in this country to be young, bold and student, it is a crime.And worse if we study to be a teacher

I am not afraid to state repression

I fear the silence of people

I

It seems that in this country to be young, bold and student, it is a crime.And worse if we study to be a teacher

They stripped out so much from us

That they also stripped out the FEAR
