16 The men who survived found second wives among women from other communities, because very few women were left in Plan de Sánchez after the massacre. He could not tell anyone what had happened. Many people knew about the massacre, but no one had the right to speak about what the Army had done; the authorities said that anyone who spoke out about it was against them. After a long time, they filed a report through CALDH, which took their testimonies and submitted them to the Attorney General’s office. However, justice has still not been done, and the proceedings have not yielded any results. Violence, corruption and discrimination against indigenous people and peasants prevent justice from being done. Also, the judges have been threatened. They represent all the departments where massacres occurred, because there is no difference between them. What happened in Plan de Sánchez occurred in other communities, so they are representing everyone. He hopes that justice will be done, that the facts will be acknowledged, that those responsible will be prosecuted, and that this never happens again. It has been very difficult to recover all the property they lost, but the lives of their loved ones are priceless. They are protesting because there is no justice in everything they endured and continue to endure. They hope to improve their lives and that the State will respond to their needs in the areas of health, education and land. The community also needs a typing or computer center, and for the roads to be improved. Moreover, if the State started up a housing program, it would be a form of reparation. He considers that the State must comply with all the provisions of the Peace Agreements. c) Testimonial statement of Narcisa Corazón Jerónimo, victim She was born in the village of Plan de Sánchez and lived there with her mother and sister until the day of the massacre.

Then they left her house and began to “herd” all the victims, her aunts and her nephews and nieces, like animals. The small children screamed, crying out for help in their mother tongue, and no one helped them. When she saw that they were taking everyone, she thought that she should cry out for the soldiers to come back for her. The witness had no one to comfort her and wondered what the soldiers were doing. She hid in a ditch and could see when they took her grandfather by force to the place where they were going to burn everyone. She waited a while and went to look for someone who could explain what was happening to her. Some people say that indigenous people are ignorant, they do not accord them any importance, they are prejudiced against them, they discriminate against them, they do not pay any attention to them; consequently, the witness felt that she had no one to comfort her. The witness heard her mother, who was walking through the village, scream and saw when they seized her 9-month old nephew from her mother, with its shawl and everything, and took them to the house where all the people were gathered.
