CISPES: Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador

On Saturday, July 30, students at El Salvador’s national university commemorated 51 years since the July 30th,1975 student massacre. On that historic, heroic, and tragic day, thousands of university students, professors, and workers marched in the streets of San Salvador alongside campesinos, urban workers, and middle school and high school students to demand respect for the sovereignty of the university, which was under attack and to protest the generalized conditions of political repression under the military government of Col Arturo Molina.
