Missing students file opened to the public

Mexico's attorney general on Sunday fulfilled a pledge to make public her office's investigative file for the disappearance of 43 students, releasing 85 volumes of material.

Attorney General Arely Gomez Gonzalez used her official Twitter account to give a link to the file on the agency's website. Mexico's top prosecutor earlier had allowed reporters to review the approximately 54,000 pages in their offices during recent weeks, but only with a pad of paper and a pen. Some names and other details are blacked out in the public version. Making all 85 volumes and appendices available online appears to meet an order by Mexico's National Transparency Institute.

The disappearance of the 43 students on Sept 26, 2014, has caused problems for the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
