The Catholic Church of El Salvador puts the blame for these deaths directly on government officials and their right wing paramilitary allies. Not a single verdict has been rendered in any of these cases. Eight U.S. civilians. including four churchwomen. and one U.S. serviceman have been murdered in El Salvador. All of these cases remain unsolved. Almost 500.000 Salvadorans now live in refugee camps because they have been displaced from their homes by the violence of war financed and armed by the United States. In El Salvador today. there is no freedom of the press. no freedom of assembly. and no functioning judicial system. Civilian Institutions are merely window dressing for the Armys control of the country.
