| 26. El Salvadoran government during the eighties |
|
(don't remember the name) - death squads and all. Several high profile murders of Catholic nuns and Bishop (Cardinal?) Romero brought the issue to the attention of the US public. At the same time our government would not recognize refugees from El Salvador as being/needing political asylum - and a movement was spurred in this country through churches to provide an underground sort of 'shelter' network.
