56th Anniversary Of The Massacre Of Tlatelolco, Mexico

On October 2, 2024, members of the Comite 68 and various social organizations march from the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Tlatelolco to the Zocalo in Mexico City, Mexico, to mark the 56th anniversary of the Tlatelolco Massacre that occurs on October 2, 1968. The demonstrators demand an end to impunity for this state crime and the long list of grievances committed against the students and the people. According to the National Human Rights Commission, on October 2, 1968, a massacre takes place in Mexico City, Mexico, in Tlatelolco, in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, causing the death of many people, the number of which is still unknown. This event is the brutal culmination of crimes that could be considered crimes against humanity, perpetrated by the Mexican government against students throughout that year, characterized by the massive, arbitrary, and illegal detentions that take place during this period, and by the detailed planning and high degree of training of the repressive forces that participate in the events. This is described by survivors of the movement who demand that those responsible be tried for genocide. The massacre is committed by the Mexican army and the paramilitary group Batallon Olimpia.
