New Declassified Documents About FENASTRAS Case: On the 35th anniversary of the bombing, UWCHR revisits case

Thirty-five years after the deadly October 31, 1989 bombing at the headquarters of the FENASTRAS union federation in San Salvador, researchers at the University of Washington Center for Human RIghts have continued their search for information pertaining to this attack, which has never been brought to justice. A review of dozens of recently released documents related to the case and its investigation helps situate the bombing in its historical context and offer important behind-the-scenes insights on U.S. government responses at the time.

This work is part of UWCHR’s Unfinished Sentences project.
