Description
Two young women hold each a portrait of two of the young men murdered by Contras during a procession that followed a demonstration in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio in their honor. Many in the crowd are holding large red flags with a stylized drawing of a man holding a firearm. Some in the crowd are also holding the blac-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. Many in the crowd are young people.
Dos muchachas sostienen cada una un retrato de dos de los jóvenes asesinados por contras durante la procesión que siguió a una manifestación en la Plaza 19 de Julio organizadas en su honor. Muchos entre la multitud sostienen y agitan banderas rojas no identificadas con un dibujo estilizado de un hombre sosteniendo un fusil. Algunos en la multitud también sostienen y agitan la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional y la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua. Muchos entre la multitud son jóvenes.
