Student asks about persecution under the dictatorship in sign language during visit to Asunción
A student from the Primera Escuela Paraguaya de Sordos asked in sign language why Paraguayans were persecuted during a morning visit to Plaza de los Desaparecidos in Asunción, where Néstor Vera explained the persecution of people demanding better working conditions and human rights during the Stroessner dictatorship; the activity, part of a three-article series on historical memory, also brought together victims and relatives, while the Truth and Justice Commission estimates around 107,987 affected relatives and records 20,090 direct victims.
