Thousands demonstrate across Mexico for the 130,000 missing

Thousands of protesters across Mexico took to the streets to demand more government action against the alarming issue of enforced disappearances. The nationwide demonstrations were sparked by the staggering figure of over 130,000 people who have gone missing in the country, often in connection with drug cartel activities. The protesters, including families of the disappeared, marched in major cities, calling on the authorities to intensify their efforts to locate the missing individuals and hold the perpetrators accountable. They criticized the government's perceived inaction and lack of effective strategies to address the crisis. The issue of enforced disappearances has long plagued Mexico, with drug cartels and criminal organizations suspected of being involved in many cases. The protesters urged the government to prioritize this problem and provide more resources and support for the families of the missing. The widespread demonstrations reflected the growing public outrage and the demand for the Mexican government to take decisive action to address this human rights crisis and provide closure for the affected families.
