Guatemala: White Crosses To Mark Murders

Xeni Jardin 8:29 am Thu Jun 11, 2009

Prensa Libre today, caption: "Today, the principle roads of the city appeared painted with white crosses, an action of the Civic National Movement to remember the victims of violence and impunity."(Photo: Prensa Libre: Ã“scar Estrada / via @morwac)
