		MEXICO CITY (CNN) -- Former Mexican President Luis Echeverria has broken three decades of near silence on the 1968 Tlatelolco Square massacre, casting doubt on the official version of the shooting that claimed the lives of as many as 300 student demonstrators.

		The largest march ever to protest the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre assembled last Friday in Mexico City's Plaza de las Tres Culturas to demand a full accounting of the killing and disappearance of hundreds of students on October 2, 1968.
		Those documents supposedly contain the exact number of dead and disappeared, and the manner in which the massacre was organized, including a description of the role that the American CIA played in the operation.
		It is unjust that all the members of the army to this day are charged with the responsibility for the deaths and jailing and for the repression that denied the rights, laws and the most basic principles of humanity.

		Until recently, the massacre which took place in the La Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Tlatelolco on October 2, 1968 was an event that was suppressed and shelved away in the Mexican government’s confines.
		The students involved in the occurrences that led to and preceded Tlatelolco were going against the abusive granaderos, the military occupation of the UNAM campus, the officers involved in controlling riots, and the government’s involvement against any movement for free speech (“Tlatelolco Massacre”).
		In both, the novel and the Tlatelolco incident, traces of the crimes against the general public were erased, and those who could stand against the government were searched out.
