In 1981 , Jagger was part of a US congressional delegation stationed at a UN refugee camp in Honduras . At one point during her official visit , the entire staff saw about 40 captured refugees marched away at gunpoint towards El Salvador by a death squad . Armed with nothing but cameras to document the raid , Jagger and the delegation trailed the squad along a river towards the Honduran-Salvadoran border . When both groups were within auditory range of each other , Jagger and the staff shouted at the M16 rifle equipped raiders , " You will have to kill us all ! " The squad considered the situation , approached the group , relieved them of their cameras , and released the cache of captives . A transformation had thus begun for Jagger . In subsequent interviews , Jagger has recounted this incident as " a turning point in my life . " Bianca Jagger founded the Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation , which she chairs . She returned to Nicaragua to look for her parents after the 1972 Nicaragua earthquake , which destroyed Managua , the capital , leaving a toll of more than 10,000 deaths and tens of thousands homeless
