Description
A young man stands beside a crying boy as they mourn the death of a group of young men killed by Contras. They are part of a group of people that participated in a demonstration held in Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio and a funeral procession, both held in their honor. The young man is wearing an olive green-colored cap and has a canteen attached to his belt. There are many people around them that are also mourning.
Un muchacho está parado junto a un niño que llora. Los dos están de luto por la muerte de un grupo de muchachos asesinados por contras. Ellos forman parte de un grupo de personas que participaron en una manifestación en la Plaza 19 de Julio de Managua y una procesión funeraria, las cuales fueron organizadas en su honor. El muchacho porta una cachucha color verde olivo y tiene una cantimplora adjunta a su fajo. A su alrededor se observan personas también de luto.
