墨西哥發現亂葬坑

Mexico's president says there is "no place" for impunity in the disappearance of 43 student protesters, a case that implicates police officers and gang members.

President Enrique Peña Nieto held a press conference Monday to address the country two days after a mass grave was found in the state of Guerrero. A chief prosecutor has linked the burial site to the case, but investigators are awaiting DNA confirmation.

President Enrique Peña Nieto said: "We must find the truth and ensure that the law is applied to those responsible for these crimes, which are, without doubt, outrageous, painful and unacceptable."

President Nieto said the people of Mexico and the families of the missing "have every right to demand an explanation of the facts, and (demand) justice, that those responsible be found, and that impunity have no place here."

A Mexican prosecutor says two gang hitmen have confessed to helping local police kill 17 of the student protesters who disappeared 10 days ago.

Officials found 28 bodies in a mass grave in the city of Iguala on Saturday, a week after a police opened fire on buses carrying the students under circumstances that remain unclear. More than 100 bullet casings were found near the buses.

Guerrero's chief prosecutor said it would take at least two weeks to determine whether the charred remains belong to some of the missing students.

The gang members told officials that dozens of Iguala police officers belong to the Guerreros Unidos, an organized crime group in the area.

Authorities detained 22 police officers and issued arrest warrants for the town's mayor and security chief shortly after the.墨西哥總統表示，對於有警察官員和黑幫團伙涉嫌捲入43名學生抗議者失蹤一案，有關人員不可能不受懲罰。

涅託總統星期一舉行記者會，向全國發表講話。此前兩天，在墨西哥格雷羅州發現了一處亂葬坑。一名檢察長已經把這處葬坑和學生失蹤一案聯繫在一起，調查人員正在等待DNA測試結果。

涅託總統說：“我們必須找到事實的真相，確保將犯下如此罪行的人繩之以法。這些罪行毫無疑問非常殘暴，令人痛苦，無法接受。”

涅託總統表示，墨西哥人民和失蹤者家人“無時無刻不在要求對事實做出澄清解釋，要求正義得到伸張，要求找到那些對事件負責的罪犯，對於他們不會存在寬恕。”

墨西哥一名檢察官表示，兩名黑幫職業殺手供認，他們幫助當地警方殺害了抗議學生當中的17人。這些抗議學生10天前失蹤。

有關官員星期六在伊瓜拉市一處大型葬坑中發現28具屍體。此前一週，警方向運送學生的巴士開火，但是具體起因尚不清楚。在巴士附近發現了1百多個彈殼。

格雷羅州的檢察長表示，至少需要兩週時間才能確定那些燒焦的屍體是否就是失蹤的學生。

黑幫成員告訴有關官員， 有數十名伊瓜拉警察屬於當地一個叫做“勇士國”的有組織犯罪團伙。

在9月26和27號發生對峙後不久，當局拘捕了22名警官，並且下令逮捕該市鎮的市長和保安主管。
