Mask: A Wave of Protests in Mexico: [maskmagazine.com] On October 1st, the story of the 43 students from the Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa, referred to as normalistas was only a few days old. In the next few days, details began to emerge – they had been kidnapped by the State, the police brutally murdered three of their classmates, and those police acted on the order of the mayor of Iguala. But the case had yet to gain political momentum. Since then, the association between the case of Ayotzinapa and Tlatelolco has become clearer in the public consciousness. Before the State violently intervened, their destination was here, Mexico City. They were on their way to march on October second to commemorate the massacre – to march with us.
