A coalition of more than a dozen local community organizations is hosting the visitors and raised money to help defray caravan expenses. \nThe group includes Maria de Jesus Tlatempa Bello\, whose son Eduardo Bartolo Tlatempa is among the missing. Also joining the caravan will be Omar Vazquez Arellano\, who survived a deadly attack on the students. \nKnown as the Ayotzinapa 43\, after the name of the teacher training college they were attending in the Mexican state of Guerrero\, the students went missing Sept. 26\, 2014\, allegedly at the hands of police who turned them over to be killed by a drug gang. An attack on the students left six other classmates dead and many others wounded. \nThe students had been traveling by bus to the nearby town of Iguala to raise money for a trip to Mexico City\, where they planned to demonstrate on the anniversary of a police-led massacre of students in 1968. \nThe case has rocked Mexico to its core\, leading to widespread claims of government corruption and cooperation with organized crime and drug cartels. Critics say the government has been inept in its investigation. \nLast November\, federal authorities arrested Iguala’s mayor and his wife for allegedly ordering the attack. They said the couple ran the city in tandem with a local drug cartel. \nStill\, there’s been no sign of the students and many presume they were murdered. \nThe caravan stopping in San Antonio is one of three that will tour the country. It is also scheduled to also make stops in Austin\, Dallas and nine other cities in the central United States. \n“The invitation of people of the United States to share our struggle is very timely since our plan is to travel to Central and South America and to Europe from where we have already received more invitations\,” Felipe de la Cruz Sandoval\, a representative of the Ayotzinapa group said in a statement. “It is important that both citizens and government leaders of other countries are aware of the injustices in Mexico\, and the international community see what is the globalization of repression.” \nParents of the missing students said they plan to take their case to Amnesty International\, the United Nations and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. \nForeign Policy magazine reported this week that a U.N. report found torture is common in Mexican police stations and prisons and that authorities act with impunity. Another U.N. report last month criticized the country’s handling of what it called “enforced disappearances\,” referencing the missing Ayotzinapa students\, according to the magazine report. \n  \n
