Description
A large crowd attends a funeral procession following a demonstration held in honor of a group of young men murdered by Contras that was held in their honor in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio. Many in the crowd are holding the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua, and unidentified red flags. Two young women are holding up the black-and-white portraits of the young men that were murdered.
