A VIGIL TO REMEMBER THE 34^TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARCHBISHOP OSCAR ROMERO’S ASSASSINATION BY SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS (SOA) GRADUATES

SINCE 1946 THE SOA/WHINSEC (Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) HAS TRAINED LATIN AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND IN TURN GRADUATES FROM THIS FACILITY HAVE COMMITTED HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES THROUGHOUT CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA FUNDED BY YOUR U.S. TAX DOLLARS.  WE WANT THE SOA/WHINSEC CLOSED AND A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED TO DOCUMENT ITS RECORD OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.  2 OF THE 3 INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE FOR ARCHBISHOP ROMERO’S MURDER WERE TRAINED AT THE SOA!

“Victories that are amassed with blood are hateful.  Victories that are earned with brute force are animal.”  Archbishop Oscar Romero, March 25^th, 1978
