FMLN, there is clear evidence that, at the time of the facts, no members of the guerrilla or armed persons were present in the said places191 and, also, taking into account that most of the executed victims were children, women – some of them pregnant – and the elderly. The most recent lists of victims prepared by Tutela Legal del Arzobispado, based on the testimony of survivors and family members, contain 1,061 names of presumed victims who were executed; of these, approximately 54% were children, approximately 18% adult women and approximately 10% men and adult women over 60 years of age. Meanwhile, from the exhumations performed at 28 sites, mainly indicated by the survivors and other witnesses, remains have been recovered corresponding to a minimum of 281 individuals, of which approximately 74% correspond to children under 12 years of age.192 In particular, in Site 1, known as “El Convento” in the village of El Mozote, of 143 individuals identified, 136 corresponded to children and adolescents, with an average age of 6 years.193 154. This assertion is also corroborated by the forensic reports which concluded that there was no evidence that could support the possibility that the deaths occurred in the context of combat, confrontation or an exchange of gunfire between two bands.194 In addition, the amount of ballistic evidence found in the places of the executions reveals the indiscriminate and massive way in which people were executed.195 The surviving witnesses mention repeatedly “the hail of bullets,” “the machine guns,” “the constant gunfire.”196 Also, many victims had their throats slit 191 Juan Bautista Márquez testified before the Inter-American Court that, in the village of El Mozote, “[o]wing to the constant operations, the inhabitants of the place have many problems, because they are accused of supporting the guerrilla; however, this is not true, [because] sometime, out of fear, they gave them food, but they also gave food to the soldiers.” Affidavit provided by Juan Bautista Márquez Argueta on April 1, 2012 (evidence file, tome XVII, affidavits, folios 10276 and 10277).

Pedro Chicas Romero stated before the Oficina de Tutela Legal that, in La Joya canton, “innocent people died and they were not members of the guerrilla; they were villages; they were people who had nothing to do with that; these people died in their own homes, and the soldiers came to kill them.” Sworn statement made by Pedro Chicas Romero before the Oficina de Tutela Legal del Arzobispado on July 25, 2011 (evidence file, tome VIII, annex 3 to the pleadings and motions brief, folio 5531).
