Nobel Prize Winner Rigoberta Menchu Speaks Out on Ayotzinapa Case
source telesur
Rigoberta Menchu has become known for her promotion for Indian rights and ethno-cultural reconciliation, both in her native Guatemala and across the Americas.
Guatemalan Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu has said she will be getting involved in the case of the missing Mexican, as calls for justice grow across the world.
“As a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize I am completely involved in observing the case, and I have made contact with all parties, above all with the State institutions,” the indigenous leader told reporters on Thursday night.
Speaking from Quito, Ecuador, Menchu revealed that she had just arrived from Mexico where she would soon be returning, to continue to follow the processes around the kidnap and murder and the 43 students of the local teacher training college.
She announced that she will be putting forward a proposal about the 43 students who disappeared in the Mexican town of Ayotzinapa in September.
“I don't go to the marches nor will I be seen on the soap boxes, because my role has to take its own space, but very soon we will have a proposal,” said Menchu, omitting what this might entail.
Menchu has become known for her promotion of indigenous rights, both in her native Guatemala but across the Americas.
On the night of September 26, Iguala municipal police officials and armed masked men shot and killed six people, including three students. They then kidnapped 43 students and allegedly handed them to a local criminal gang known as United Warriors, linked to a violent drug cartel. They have not been seen since and the former mayor of Iguala has been arrested in connection with the disappearances.
