CANCELLED
The abduction of 43 students from the teachers school in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero in September 2014 openly revealed the collusion between authorities and criminal actors behind Mexico's violence. Independent investigations have challenged the attorney general's version of what happened to the students on several accounts. Anabel Hernández, journalist with the weekly magazine Processo and researcher at the Program for Investigative Journalissm at the University of Berkeley, has provided some of the most important evidence disqualifying the official story. In this lecture, Hernández discusses the challenges and possible methods of investigative journalism in Mexico, where journalists are under constant threats, and what the work of herself and colleageues has revealed about what happened to the 43 students.
Hernándezis also an invited guest at the Human Rights Human Wrongs Documentary Film Festival in Oslo, and will participate in conversations after the screenings of the documentary Cartel Land on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February.
