Description
An old woman mourns the death of a young man who was murdered by Contras at a burial site as she holds the coffin following a demonstration at Plaza 19 de Julio and a funeral procession. The coffin is draped with the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua. She is surrounded by mourners.

El ataúd está cubierto con la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional y la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua. A su alrededor están muchos otros dolientes.
