Description
A crowd mourns the death of two young men who were killed by Contras during a demonstration at Plaza 19 de Julio in Managua. In the foreground, two women, one young and one old, console each other as the lean on a casket, which is covered with the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. On the left of the image there is a young man wiping tears from his face wearing a military uniform. In the background there is a woman crying as she holds a fist in the air.
