#tdih 1980 Three nuns (Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, and Dorothy Kazel) and one lay worker (Jean Donovan) were abducted, raped, and murdered in El Salvador by members of the U.S. backed National Guard. #terrorism #TeachCentralAmerica zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/nuns…
President Ronald Reagan’s administration blamed the nuns for their own murder. Foreign-policy advisor Jeane Kirkpatrick told reporter, “The nuns were not just nuns. The nuns were also political activists” and Secretary of State Alexander Haig said, “perhaps they ran a roadblock.”
We recommend video & report, "Laying Out a Case for Deporting Human Rights Abusers" by @ClydeHaberman via @nytimes about campaign to have generals who ordered murder of nuns deported from safe haven in Florida. nytimes.com/2014/11/10/us/…
