Description
Eleven graves lie open as they await the bodies of a group of young men murdered by Contras. In the background there is a large crowd of people following a group of men carrying a coffin covered by the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua and the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) following a demonstration at Plaza 19 de Julio in Managua. Many in the crowd are carrying those flags and flowers. Amongst the crowd there are men in military uniform. Once sepulturas yacen abiertas mientras esperan los cuerpos de un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. Al fondo de la imagen se observa una multitud de personas siguiendo a un grupo de hombres los cuales sostienen un ataúd cubierto por la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua y la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional después de una manifestación en la Plaza 19 de Julio en Managua. Muchos en la multitud sostienen esas banderas y flores. Entre la multitud se observan varios hombres en uniforme militar.
