Title: Salvadoran Army Officer Captain Medina Garay Questioned By Media
Date: 1982-07-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Alberto Barrera from Reuters, third left with microphone, and members of the Salvadoran media question an army officer, Captain Carlos Napoleón Medina Garay, center right, in Santa Clara, El Salvador, July 1, 1982. The United Nations Truth Commission for El Salvador named Medina Garay responsible for ordering the army massacre of 50 local civilians in El Junquillo, Cacaopera in the Morazán department during a military attack on March 12, 1981. Medina Garay was living in the United States until he was deported to San Salvador in 2012 following renewed attention in the UN allegations against him. Several members of the military elite from the years of the civil war, including former ex-Ministers of Defense Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova and José Guillermo García, have been deported from the United States since 2012 for grave human rights violations previously denounced by the 1993 UN report.
