Activists and family members of 43 students from Mexico who disappeared in 2014 vandalized the Israeli Embassy building in Mexico City yesterday (Wednesday).

The demonstrators called for the extradition to Mexico of the head of the country's criminal investigations unit at the time of the student absences, Thomas Zaron, who is apparently staying in Israel.

One of the inscriptions that was sprayed on the building read "Death to Israel" and a security camera that was placed there was also broken.

The demonstrators on the spot chanted: "Free Palestine" and "Long live Palestine".

Following the protest, the traffic in the area of ​​Lomas de Chapultepec, which is considered one of the richest in the capital of Mexico, was silent for an hour and there were congestions.

Mexico's request to extradite Zaron from Israel was already accepted in September 2020. He is accused of concealing evidence and torturing witnesses in the case of the 43 students who disappeared from the country in September 2014. This is the disappearance of a group of students who went on a demonstration to protest the rampant crime in the city of Iguala.

The local police who were called to the scene dispersed the demonstration and put the students on buses - but their traces have since disappeared.

Although no official version of the incident has been given, it is believed that the students were executed and buried in a mass grave in the area.
