Description
A large crowd of people participate in a funeral procession that followed a demonstration in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio, both of which were held in honor of a group of young men killed by Contras. Many in the crowd are holding and waving the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua, and unidentified red flags. Many people walking amongst the crowd are wearing military uniforms. Behind the crowd several large military vehicles transport procession participants as the move towards the burial site. In the foreground on the right of the image there is a small, cream-colored Toyota FJ Cruiser with blue and red police sirens. On the left of the image there are also various traffic signs, one of which reads, "No right turn."
