Guatemala: In memory of Comalapa
Photo by James Rodriguez, from this multimedia image gallery documenting the inauguration of a memorial monument by the National Coordination of Guatemalan Widows (CONAVIGUA) in the former military garrison of San Juan Comalapa in Guatemala. This photo essay includes a multimedia presentation with images and sound recorded during the event. Between 2003 and 2004, the remains of 179 wartime victims were exhumed near this site.
Update: Kara Andrade in Guatemala sends along this video related to the story.
