Arbitrary detentions, the creation of false charges and judicial penalties without justification are some of the tactics that Amnesty International has identified as co-ordination measures implemented by President Daniel Ortega’s Governor to address the critical voices in Nicaragua. The country has been embroiled in a deep political and social crisis since 2018, when Ortega declared a brutal crackdown on the demonstrations that are demanding the end of its mandate. “The authorities are using the Judicial Power as one of the oppressive authorities to encourage activists in arbitration proceedings. In the finals of November 2020, more than 100 people will continue to travel through arbitration, ”Amnesty International said.
According to the report, published this Monday, the body denounced the “tactics” of the regime that led the Sandinista ex-guerrilla to “increase” dissent in Nicaragua. In addition to the arbitrary detentions and the manipulation of the judicial system, Amnesty has identified the approval of laws that castigate the civil society organizations and annulled the electoral possibilities of the opposition to the elections presented to the proxies. In addition, it has denounced the “civilian death” of opponents, referring to the persecution and harassment of persons who were arrested and released in an amnesty issue approved by Parliament, controlled by Ortega. “Like them, their families suffer acts of aggression, intimidation and hostility on the part of the police, the parapolitical forces or the reasons for controlling local government with the governor. “The recruitment of hostigamient against persons excelled constitutes one of the tactics that characterized the state repression”, advised the informant.
Amnesty International presents in its investigation a week later that United Nations denounces the regime of Daniel Ortega for committing arrests, violations and tortures and political dissidents in Nicaragua. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OACNUDH), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OACNUDH) lists the government’s response to 14 recommendations made by the Managua regime to resolve the political crisis. It is also known that in Central American countries there are violent violations of civil liberties.
The protests in Nicaragua will be staged in April 2018, following the imposition of a reform on the social security of Ortega that creates a great deal of controversy in the business sector as well as in society. The demonstrations will begin in Managua, with a small jubilee reunion that will mark the end of the reforms, but Ortega’s violent response to these pacifist protests will lead to an unprecedented response to a national upliftment. Ortega declared a repression of two hundred deaths, miles of disappearances, decades of imprisonment and exiled to more than 80,000 people. International human rights organizations have determined that in Nicaragua there will be “crimes of humanitarianism” against the people. “Since 2018, the Gobierno has not given up on any form of dissent or criticism. Authorities are committed to eradicating, at any cost, the activism and defense of human rights, ”said Amnistía Internacional.
“For Amnesty International, Nicaragua is one of the countries that is facing one of the worst human rights crises in all of the Western Hemisphere, at a pre-occupational level,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, director of Amnesty International.
The body pays special attention to the detentions of opponents, who suffer ill-treatment, torture and abuse by the police authorities. These persons were transferred, without a fair trial, to conditions with deplorable conditions, “which include a lack of access to potable water, quality food and high indexation of hacinamiento”.
Among the testimonies that the information is from Jhon is a political statement that shares a subway line with another 22 people. “To sleep accommodate a few pockets in the floor and improvise hammocks with the saws”, relates the investigation, which quotes people looking for him. A person approached Jhon Dijo at Amnistía Internacional who, alone, was allowed to go to the patio to take off for 60 minutes every two weeks. Prisoners take precautionary measures against food allergies, such as those that have additional resources complemented by those that make it easier for family and spouse visits that ten are allowed each month, or packages that are served on weekdays. In practice, many families do not have enough resources to pay for the journeys. “These conditions of detention violate a series of international standards,” the body advised.
The covid-19 pandemic has affected the conditions in the cells, in a country where Ortega minimizes its impact and does not disclose reliable information about the number of contagions and deaths caused by the new coronavirus. Amnesty is a United Nations meeting, an organization that has alerted that at least 40 people are being detained for reasons that it estimates “there are signs compatible with covid-19 or health greetings that increase the risk of suffering more diseases.”
Violent repression policy has a continuum in Nicaragua. The Governor of Ortega demonstrated that there was something that could be done by human beings without reality and to silence any critics. “We have seen this year since this policy of repression became profound,” Guevara-Rosas explained. Amnesty recommends informing the end of arbitrary arrests, hostilities with protesters, dismantling paraestal groups that perpetuate terror in Nicaraguan cities and guaranteeing justice for the victims of state repression.
