Abstract:  The Hamilton EL Salvador Solidarity Committee was founded in April 1981, to carry out educational, political, cultural work in support of the struggle of the Salvadoran people, particularly the FDR- FMLN. As part of its educational and political work, the Committee has shown films and slide shows and has sponsored several speakers on El Salvador. As apart of its political action, the group has developed two petitions on the Franco- Mexican joint declaration (1981) and on the abduction of Salvadoran refugees by Honduran security forces. Many telegrams and letters have been sent by security forces. Many telegrams and letters have been sent by the Commitee to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, External Affairs Minister, Mark MacGuigan, MP's , Ambassador Pelletier, the Canadian representative to the United Nations, and to President Garcia of Honduras.
