0 105

Mexico’s government is seeking to grant protection to suspects who collaborate in a probe into the 2014 disappearance of 43 Mexican college students, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Monday, after officials ordered dozens of new arrests.

Lopez Obrador urged those arrested to cooperate, and said the soldiers for whom arrest orders have been issued are no longer in active service.

“We are looking for those detained to be considered protected witnesses. … We have to break the pact of silence,” he told his daily news conference. “If they collaborate, they will have considerations of legal character.”
