About René Emilio Ponce

- He was a member of La Tandona, the class of 1966 at the Escuela Militar.
- As head of the army’s joint chiefs of staff he was linked, according to a report published by a Truth Commission, to the 1989 murders of Jesuits in El Salvador, although no judicial authority has rendered a decision finding him guilty.
- It is worth to note that the 1992 Peace Accords, which ended the armed conflict, explicitly deprived, the Truth Commission's Report, of any value as trial evidence.
- Ponce died on May 2, 2011 at a military hospital in San Salvador, due to complications arising from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
