The Mexican Attorney General's Office (Fiscalía General del Estado) has initiated investigations into alleged acts of violence against new students at the Rural Normal School Mactumatzá in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. The investigation was ordered after five complaints were filed by students at the school. On Tuesday, parents of incoming students protested and reported the aggressions. One student was reportedly abandoned in the center of the capital city of Chiapas and later received medical assistance at a hospital.
