Cuba A group of Cuban mothers whose daughters and sons are imprisoned for political beliefs began a petition requesting the release of their children. The footage shows these mothers talking about the loss of their children and possible political changes in Cuba today. A video by the Federacion de Organizaciones Indigenas details human rights abuses against indigenous people. The massacre of El Mozote is one of the most severe cases of human rights violations that occurred in El Salvador's 12-year civil war. Documentation of the exhumation of a mass grave in El Mozote by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team proved that this massacre occurred in 1981.
Footage shows human skeletons, many of children under the age of twelve.
Skeletons showed evidence of trauma from high-velocity gunshots, fire and crushing weight. Almost all bullets found on the site were manufactured by a supplier of the US government. Anthropologists found skeletons of children. Toys, marbles and small trinkets in the pockets of the decomposing clothes were also found. In April 1999, Witness interviewed Jesus Tecu Osorio.
