El Salvador’s amnesty law unconstitutional, nation needs reconciliation, says bishop

Salvadorans carry a photo of Archbishop Oscar Romero and other victims during a 2008 rally in San Salvador to commemorate the 28th anniversary of their deaths. El Salvador's Supreme Court declared the country's amnesty law unconstitutional; human rights defenders say now restorative justice can bring relief to victims.
