Mexico's Information and Transparency agency ordered the Federal Attorney General's Office (PGR) to release its complete files on last September's enforced disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students. The PGR was also instructed to release the transcripts of the interrogations of the 36 military personnel, detained for their alleged involvement in the kidnapping and disappearance of the students. The government had argued that the transcripts should remain classified to protect unnamed public servants, but the transparency agency officials said that the national and international interest in the Ayotzinapa case trumped the need for secrecy. Although human rights advocates hailed the decision to release the information, they charged that authorities stonewall attempts to uncover the truth in the case. The family members of the 43 students, meanwhile, continue to insist on the need to question soldiers from the 27th Infantry Battalion in Iguala, Guerrero on their participation in the September 26, 2014 events.
