This is a photo of Jacinta Cruz watching her mother’s remains being exhumed from a clandestine grave near Ixtupil, Guatemala. Senora Cruz says her mother Vicenta died from starvation & hypothermia while hiding from Guatemalan soldiers bankrolled & trained by the US Pentagon.
Let her grief stand as an indictment of US policy in Guatemala--which is as murderous today as it was in the 1980s when it took Vicenta’s life.
No US aid to Guatemala! US troops out of Guatemala! Prosecute those who sanctioned these unspeakable crimes!
