MEXICO CITY — The fathers of the disappeared students took to the stage one by one. They spoke of their sons' hopes of becoming teachers, of the last time they saw them, of their agony in going almost a month with no news after they vanished.

As one dad described his son's dreams, he could not hold back his tears in front of the tens of thousands of protesters in Mexico City's central square. As he wept, the protesters shouted in his support, "You are not alone!" and, "Justice!"

The demonstration on Wednesday night was one of dozens that have been taking place across Mexico in response to the disappearance of 43 trainee teachers and the shooting death of three more by police and drug cartel gunmen on Sept. 26.
