El MOZOTE

The village of Mozote, located outside of Perquin, is the spot where about 900 campesinos, mostly women and children were massacred by armed forces in 81'. Both Reagon and the US slowly dismissed it as proganda, therefore names of the dead are still being revealed today. The first picture is a memorial to the Massacre and the second are the walls of the church which were painted in memory of all the children that were murdered. There names are added at the bottom as they are revealed.
