Description
A young woman holds her hands to her face as she cries during the burial procession of a group of young men murdered by Contras. She is surrounded by grieving people. To the left of the image, two men, one of them wearing a cap, and a woman rest their hands on a coffin, which is covered in the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front. Behind them is a large military vehicle.
Una joven pone sus manos sobre su cara mientras llora durante el entierro de un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. A su alrededor se observan varias personas también llorando. A la izquierda de la imagen, dos hombres, uno de ellos portando una cachucha, y una mujer ponen sus manos sobre el ataúd, el cual está cubierto por la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional. Detrás de ellos se observa un vehículo militar grande.
