Iguala, Mexico, Nov 9 (EFE).- Members of the Los Otros Desaparecidos group in Iguala, a city in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, have found eight more clandestine graves in the community of Tijerillas that could contain human remains, representatives of the grassroots organization told EFE.
The group, which was formed following the 2014 disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School students, has been working to locate clandestine graves in the Iguala area and identify the bodies.
The grassroots organization has found more than 100 bodies and resumed the search on Sunday, following the end of the rainy season.
Anonymous tips led to the discovery of the graves, Los Otros Desaparecidos member Mario Vergara said.
Vergara said his brother disappeared two years ago and he has been working with at least 30 other families to search for missing people.
The federal Attorney General's Office, meanwhile, said it would respond to the issues raised by the National Human Rights Commission, or CNDH, regarding the Ayotzinapa case.
A report will be sent to the CNDH, Mexico's equivalent of an ombudsman's office, this week advising the body of the status of work on its recommendations, the AG's office said in a statement.
The CNDH said Sunday that the AG's office had not responded to any of the 26 observations and proposals it had made regarding the Ayotzinapa case.
The response from the AG's office has been "insufficient and imprecise," the CNDH said.
Police officers attacked a group of Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School students on Sept. 26, 2014, in Iguala.
Six people, including three education students, died that night, 25 were wounded and 43 students were detained by police and then handed over to members of the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel.
The bodies of the missing students have not been found despite extensive searches conducted by officials and relatives.
