Commemoration of Student Massacre of 1975

On July 30, 1975, students from the National Autonomous University of El Salvador were marching to protest repression by the military, which had taken over the campus in Santa Ana on July 25. General Arturo Armando Molina ordered the Salvadoran National Guard to suppress the protest with machine guns and tanks. The estimates of university and high school students killed range from 12 to more than 100 and wounded from 23 to more than 100. The exact number is not known because the military loaded up bodies, and live students, in its vehicles and disappeared them. This was one of four massacres in just over a year of escalating repression. Mothers of the victims started joining together to search for their children—some of whom were jailed and interrogated. Encouraged and supported by Archbishop Oscar Romero, The Committee of Mothers and Family Members of Political Prisoners, the Disappeared and Assassinated (CO-MADRES) quickly made a name for itself as a vocal activist group—staging sit-ins and marches, occupying embassies and churches, and documenting human rights violations.

Conmemoración para el massacre de los estudiantes en 1975
El 30 de Julio, 1975, estudiantes de la Universidad National Autonomous de El Salvador estaban marchando para protestar la represión militar que había tomado cargo de el campus en Santa Ana el 25 de julio. General Arturo Armando Molina ordenó que la Guardia Nacional de El Salvador repriman las protestas con pistolas y tanques militares. Es estimado que murieron desde 12 a 100 y hirieron desde 23 a 100. El número exacto no es conocido porque el militar tomó los cuerpos de los estudiantes y unos estudiantes vivos en sus vehículos y los despariso. Este massacre solo es uno de los cuatro que ocurrió en casi más de un año. Las madres de las víctimas se juntaron para buscar sus hijos—unos fueron detenidos e interrogados. Alentadas y ayudadas por el Arzobispo Oscar Romero, las madres que se juntaron y los miembros de familia de prisioneros políticos, y los Desaparecidos y Asesinados (CO-MADRES) fueron reconocidos como un grupo de activistas muy vocal—organizando marchas, ocupando embajadas y iglesias, y documentando las violaciones de los derechos humanos.

Por favor nos acompañan para una discusión sobre cómo los eventos de 1975 mobilizo la resistencia.
