(11 May 2015) A team of international experts investigating Mexico's handling of the disappearance of 43 students said on Monday that some of those arrested in relation to the case have said they were tortured.
Students from Rural Normal School went missing on 26 September last year after confrontations with police in Iguala.
Carlos Beristain, from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said in a news conference that the team had interviewed 16 of the more than 100 detainees.
The majority said they were mistreated and tortured, he said.
The attorney general's office concluded in January that the missing students were turned over by local police from the city of Iguala to the gang Guerreros Unidos who killed them.
The remains of only one student have been positively identified from a garbage dump outside Cocula.
The students' parents and their advocates do not believe the government's version and maintain that it is based upon the statements of criminals.
