In pictures: Mexico protests over missing students
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-30035102The disappearance of 43 students from a teacher training college in the Mexican town of Ayotzinapa on 26 September has outraged many Mexicans.
Pictures of the 43 can be seen throughout Mexico at demonstrations in support of the missing students.
The trainee teachers went missing after holding a protest in the nearby town of Iguala, about 200km (125 miles) south-west of the capital, Mexico City.
Municipal police say they intercepted the students on the orders of the local mayor, Jose Luis Abarca, who wanted to prevent them from interrupting a speech his wife was giving that day in Iguala.
