Alegación sobre casos de ejecución extrajudicial y desaparición forzada masiva de
estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural “Raúl Isidro Burgos” en Iguala, Estado De
Guerrero, México. El día 26 de septiembre de 2014 a las 21:00 hs., aproximadamente
80 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural “Raúl Isidro Burgos” se dirigían a la
ciudad de Chilpancingo desde la ciudad de Iguala, a bordo de tres autobuses de la
empresa Costa Line que habían tomado minutos antes después de llevar a cabo
actividades de colecta de recursos para su escuela. Al salir de la central de autobuses,
varias patrullas habrían intentado cerrar el paso a los autobuses, y empezaron a
disparar de manera intermitente sin dar advertencia alguna. Asimismo, desde esa
noche, se desconoce el paradero de 43 estudiantes, incluyendo alrededor de 25
presuntas víctimas de desaparición forzada a manos de la policía municipal.

Allegations of arbitrary arrest and detention of a human rights defender. According to
the information received, Dr. Chandra Kant Raut, the Central Coordinator of Alliance
for Independent Madhesh, a non-governmental organization, was arrested without a
warrant after delivering a speech on 13 September 2014 at a public meeting calling for
a right to secession to be enshrined in Nepal’s new Constitution. He reportedly spent
six days in police custody on charges related to the Public Offence Act before being
presented to the Special Court. On three occasions, the Special Court extended Dr.
Raut’s pre-trial detention, pending the hearing of his habeas corpus writ in front of the
Supreme Court. It is reported that the habeas corpus hearing took place on 21
September 2014 and that the Supreme Court issued a show cause notice, requesting
the Special Court to provide justification for Dr. Raut’s detention. Following another
application by the police, the pre-trial detention was again extended by an additional
two days, until 24 September 2014, at which date the next habeas corpus hearing took
place. On 24 September, the Special Court extended Dr. Raut’s detention for an
additional 14 days.
