# Solidaritätsmeeting für El Salvador, Sandersdorf (Bezirk Halle)

A schoolgirl reads out a declaration at a hall meeting, beneath a banner reading 'Our solidarity greeting to the fighting people of El Salvador' and a draped flag lettered FMLN. The agency caption supplies the frame: a 'just liberation struggle' of 'patriots', backed 'unanimously' by 'over 200 citizens', so virtue words and a headcount stand in for any account of the conflict itself.
