Description
Inhabitants of the remote village of Jacana in northern Guatemala hold a funeral for 59 Mayan Indians who died in the mountains while escaping military persecution during the civil war (1960-1996). The remains were exhumed from a clandestine cemetery in a village in the neighbouring municipality of Chajul. Eulalia Juan, who lost her mother and sisters in the conflict, says she is "happy" to be able to have her family in a "dignified cemetery" and to be able to bring them flowers. ++SEE ALSO: VIDI33CB4G9_EN++ IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
