El Salvador marks 35th anniversary of Romero's assassination

  • 9 years ago
Thousands of Salvadorans paid tribute to the memory of Archbishop Oscar Anrufo Romero, gunned down exactly 35 years ago by a right-wing death squad while celebrating mass. No one has ever been charged with his assassination. Romero, archbishop of San Salvador, was widely known throughout the region as a defender of the poor and a fighter against inequality and the US backed military dictatorship. teleSUR
