43 student teachers disappeared from the city of Iguala , Mexico , on 26 September 2014 .

They were last seen lying face-down on the back of police pick-up trucks as they were spirited out of the city.

The full story of the relationship between the state and the cartels in Guerrero has never been fully established.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has promised to leave no stone unturned in the case.

The victims’ parents, those most affected by the terrible events of a decade ago , walk onto a stage to address the crowd.

Behind them, the National Palace , Mexico ’s seat of power, is cordoned off by a ring of steel.

One , 2 , 3 , 4 ” the parents count out loud until they reach 43 , a number now synonymous in Mexico with one of the worst human rights violations in its modern history.
