Las 4 misioneras de El Salvador: el crimen que obligó al Congreso de EE.UU.

On December 2, 1980, four American women dedicated to religious missions were intercepted in El Salvador: Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, Dorothy Kazel, and Jean Donovan. They had arrived to serve impoverished communities, accompany persecuted families, and live the Gospel amidst one of the darkest periods of the Salvadoran civil war. But that night, their story became an international case. Salvadoran National Guardsmen were convicted of the crime. But for decades, a much more uncomfortable question remained unanswered: Did they act alone? Who gave the order? Why was the higher chain of command never fully prosecuted? The case reached the United States Congress because the Salvadoran army received funding, training, and political support during the height of the Cold War. What seemed like a local crime ended up revealing a web of silence, international interests, and incomplete justice. This is the story of Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, Dorothy Kazel, and Jean Donovan. Four missionaries. Four names. And a question that still lingers: How much did Washington know?
