In a conference a few days ago at Rincón Zapatista in Mexico City, journalist John Gibler shared the testimonies collected in his visit to the Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos school in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero. Based on interviews and testimonies by witnesses, relatives, and friends of the dissappeared students, Gibler reconstructs these youths’ profile and shares a detailed chronicle of the attack against them on the night of September 26 in Iguala, Guerrero.
