As protests continued in Baltimore over the police custody death of Freddie Gray, relatives of some of the 43 students missing since a police attack in Guerrero, Mexico, marched to the United Nations in New York on Sunday. As they demanded justice over the forced disappearances of their loved ones seven months ago, the relatives drew parallels between state violence in Mexico and the United States. "We see that it's the same police brutality, it's the same system of government everywhere," said Anayeli Guerrero de la Cruz, sister of a missing student.
