workingclasshistory:

On this day, 2 December 1980 (content note: sexual violence), three Catholic nuns and one lay worker from the US were kidnapped, raped and murdered by government backed and US-trained right-wing death squads during the El Salvadorian civil war. Those killed were Maura Clarke, Jean Donovan, Ita Ford and Dorothy Kazel. The war raged on for around 20 years and involved brutal violence against workers’ and peasants’ organisations as well as left-wing religious groups.
