- Summary:
- The International Commission of Jurists sent its Legal Officer for Latin America, Dr. Alejandro Artucio, as an observer to the trial held in San Salvador concerning the assassination of six Jesuit priests, the cook at their residence, and her daughter. The savage murders had occurred November 16, 1989 in the residence of the Jesuits, located on the campus of the Central American University 'Jose Simeon Canas, ' and was accompanied by serious damages to the premises, highly destructive weapons have been used in the attack. Two years later, in September 1991, the public phase of the trial was conducted, which our observer attended.The report which we are now publishing goes beyond an analysis of the trial. It provides an overview of the country and describes the political and social context in which the assassinations occurred and in which the trial was held.
