what happend in Mexico on october 2 1986?

Answer 1

i think you wrote too fast...
the date was october 2, 1968
About six months before, many student manifestations started by different reasons. Among them were government manipulation of the media and dissapearances of activists throughout the country.

On Plaza de las Tres Culturas -Three Cultures Plaza- which was located in a part of Mexico City called Tlatelolco, there was this big protest taking place. Thousands of people gathered pacifically to hear some speeches while both international and national press covered the event. Then, something really really wrong started to happen.

Oriana Fallaci, a famous italian reporter -which just about a week ago passed away-, was there and she suddenly noticed how a a helicopter flew very close by. The helicopter was a militar one, and someone inside it threw an incandescent light into the crowd below.

Fallaci immediately knew that it was a militar tactic -she had been in Vietnam months before- to identify the start of a militar plan. Hundreds of troops -who were dressed as civilians and were mixed with the crowd- then revealed their true identity by screaming: Batallon Olimpia!!! (Olympian Batallion) and placing a white handkerchief or glove on their right hands. Without warning, they started shooting to the people in the plaza. The scared civilians ran to the apartments buildings and churches nearby to avoid death, but many of them were found by searching parties.

The neighboors to this day claim that the plaza was covered with blood and empty shoes when everything was over about 11 o'clock that same night. Oriana Fallaci was shot three times, but was saved from death by a man that covered her from more bullets - but the guy died from the shots. International reporters counted over 400 bodies in the plaza, and 200 more on the sorrounding streets. But the next morning everything was clean.

Bodies were picked up by militar vans and blood was cleaned by the city's hygiene department. The government declared oficially only 23 deaths, and set the proper indemnizations to the affected family.

But where all the bodies went???

According to retired soldiers of the Olympian Batallion, at least 500 bodies were taken to the grounds of Militar Camp Number 1 located in Mexico City too. There, they were burned to ashes in big bonfires. Many people were taken into custody, including six thirteen year-old boys who were so viciously raped and tortured that one of them ended up using a wheelchair the rest of his life. The rest of the detainees went either to jail or dissappeared... Those lucky enough to go to jail were questioned and the majority was released.

Despite the civil outrage, the president nothing important happened that fatal evening and happily lighted the torch of the Olympic Games a mere two weeks later.

Almost forty years later there is still very little official information about the event. Only there are reports from the international press and a bunch of books by many activists who were there and some others who investigated it.

I recommend the reading of "The Night of Tlatelolco" by Elena Poniatowska for more information and chilling details about one of the most shameful events that had ever taken place in Mexico.
