Since 2019, the university community has accumulated unsolved cases while impunity, fear, and institutional silence grow in Mexico.
The University Student Federation (FEU) reported that since 2019 at least 14 students from the University of Guadalajara have disappeared. Several of them remain missing, which probably will never change.
Neither the government of Jalisco nor the prosecutors have offered clear answers.
In recent days, three new cases have raised alarms. Jesús Bryan Huidor, Miguel Alejandro Medina, and Édgar Axel Ríos disappeared between March 27 and April 3. All were minors, students of high schools and technical schools.
A terrified and abandoned student community
The FEU demands immediate actions.
Thousands of students have already received emails with alerts, safety recommendations, and warnings about virtual kidnappings and fake job offers. Because in the face of the State's omission, the students themselves try to protect each other.
They have held demonstrations in front of the Government Palace. They demand the basics: that they be searched for, found, and protected. But the authorities continue to act as if nothing is happening.
