According to press reports, youngsters from the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Normal School arrived in several buses and once inside the building they set fire to various objects.

They have further set fire to at least eight motorcycles and broken windows in the building.

In lately months, the students have taken similar protest actions to demand justice for their colleagues from the authorities.

In March, they even reached Mexico’s presidential palace just as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was holding his regular press conference.

Among rioters were also human rights activists and relatives of some of the 43 youngsters who went missing in September 2014 in the town of Iguala, Guerrero state.

That case unleashed a wave of worldwide outrage and is considered one of the worst human rights violations committed in Mexico.
