MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Parents of 43 students who went missing in 2014 in Mexico called on President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to keep his word Monday as thousands joined them in a parade, criticizing blunders by a government that promised to punish those responsible.

The protest through the streets of the capital fell on the eighth anniversary of the students' disappearance. Last month, the parents said they had a glimmer of hope in the case after Jesus Murillo Karam, the country's former top prosecutor, was arrested in relation to the case.
