The Civic Alliance for Justice and Democracy, said yesterday that the errors of justice during the socio-political crisis in Nicaragua are documented, to bring the Government of Daniel Ortega before international justice.
“All the errors that have been made in the rigged judicial system that exists in Nicaragua are being documented to take them first to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), so that there is a judgment against the Government of Nicaragua for the mistreatment of people, “said the representative of entrepreneurs in the Alliance, Juan Sebastián Chamorro.
Both the Alliance and organizations defending local and international human rights point the Government to the death of between 325 and 528 people, due to acts of repression since the social outbreak last April 18. The Government has admitted 199 victims.
The agencies also affirm that in Nicaragua there are at least 558 “political prisoners” imprisoned after participating in protests against Ortega.
The government is also attributed “extrajudicial executions, torture, obstruction of medical care, arbitrary detentions, kidnappings and sexual violence, among other human rights violations.”
Among the international organizations that have made such statements are the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (Acnudh), the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH), and Amnesty International (AI).
Ortega denies being responsible for the accusations and maintains that everything is due to an attempted “coup d’état”.
