Description
A group of journalists and photojournalists attend a press conference held by the three presidential candidates and running mate to claim voter fraud in the 1982 elections against Ángel Aníbal Guevara. The man standing on the left is holding a microphone while the man standing on the right is holding his hands in the air. The men kneeled in front of them are holding their cameras. A military coup prevented Guevara from assuming power and installed a three-man junta headed by General Efraín Ríos Montt.
