The UK Parliament has released the findings of a report into the oppression of religious leaders, media and political opposition in Nicaragua.
"The Silencing of Democracy in Nicaragua" was launched under the auspices of three All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs), to consider the situation in Nicaragua and the ever-growing targeting of anyone critical of the Nicaraguan government. Those targeted include opposition leaders, human rights defenders, journalists and religious leaders.
“This report makes it very clear that anyone critical of the Ortega regime will be targeted,” Lord David Alton said of the report’s findings. “With every attack on political opposition, journalists, human rights defenders, and religious leaders, democracy is being eroded piece by piece.”
