Description
A large crowd participates in a funeral procession in honor of a group of young men murdered by Contras following a demonstration in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio. Many in the crowd are holding flower wreaths of varying colors, the black-and-red flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua and other unidentified red flags. In the middle of the image there are two signs that read, "The blood of our brothers demands justice, nothing nor anyone will be forgotten," and "They shall not pass through the border, we fight to vanquish, they shall not pass." In the middle, above the signs, there is also a portrait of one of the men killed by Contras. Throughout the crowd there are several small bands of people carrying the coffins of the slain, which are covered with the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua and the red-and-black flag of the Sandinista National Liberation Front. Una multitud de personas participa en una procesión fúnebre después de una manifestación en la Plaza 19 de Julio de Managua en honor a un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. Muchos en la multitud cargan coronas de flores de diversos colores, la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional, la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua y otras banderas rojas no identificadas. En medio de la imagen se observan dos pancartas que dicen: "La sangre de nuestros hermanos clama justicia, nada ni nadie será olvidado" y "De la frontera no pasarán, luchamos para vencer, no pasarán". En medio de la imagen justo arriba de las pancartas también se observa un retrato de una de las personas que fueron asesinadas por contras. Por la multitud se observan varias bandas de personas cargando los ataúdes de los muertos, los cuales yacen cubiertos por la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua y la bandera rojinegra del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional.
