STORYLINE:
Thousands of students and other demonstrators marched on Thursday afternoon in remembrance of a 1968 massacre of student protesters that took place in Mexico City just before the Olympics.
Protesters chanted and carried posters demanding justice for the victims of the 1968 demonstration.
While a mostly peaceful protest, some groups of protesters clashed with police and caused damage to property by spray-painting walls and windows along the march route.
The annual march starts from the square where the massacre occurred and stretches to the central Zocalo plaza of the capital city, bringing together students from universities throughout Mexico.
Government troops opened fire on a large student demonstration in Tlaltelolco Plaza on October 2, 1968.
The official death toll is still recorded as 25, but human rights activists say there were as many as 350 victims.
A federal court ruled in 2007 that the massacre was genocide "because government authorities at the time jointly conducted a prearranged and coordinated action aimed at exterminating a national group of students from various universities."
Charges in the massacre have been brought against several former officials including ex-President Luis Echeverria, who was interior secretary at the time.
He remains under house arrest.
