No more impunity for Romero's murder, says El Salvador prosecutor
EFE | San Salvador 21 May 2015
By Hugo Sanchez.
The investigation of the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero should be reopened and impunity for the killers - in which the Salvadoran justice system has been "complicit" - must no longer prevail, national ombudsman David Morales said in an interview with Efe.
"The Romero case has been treated ... with indifference, with impunity, with a refusal to uphold international treaties and the Constitution," he said.
Morales, who took over the post in 2013, emphasized that the situation of the Romero case "represents the impunity and injustice regarding the thousands of cases of victims" of El Salvador's 1980-1992 civil war.
The conflict between the then-guerrillas of the FMLN - now the governing party - and the U.S.-backed Salvadoran army, left some 75,000 people dead and 8,000 missing.
