Nicaragua Outlaws 1.5K NGOs

Pro-establishment narrative

This is part of Nicaragua's autocratic government's effort to suppress people who draw the world's attention to human rights abuses in the Central American country. Ortega has engaged in increasingly repressive actions — including using terrorism and money laundering laws to crack down on nonprofit organizations — against journalists, intellectuals, and activists to quell dissent. He must be held accountable for the persecution of all forms of opposition, whether political or religious.
