"Nicaraguan Judge Orders Seizure of Prominent Jesuit University"

A Nicaraguan judge has ordered the confiscation of all assets belonging to the Central American University (UCA), a prestigious Jesuit-run university, as part of the government's crackdown on Catholic clergy and church-affiliated institutions. The UCA, considered one of Central America's top private institutions, has been accused by the government of being a "center for terrorism organized by criminal groups," a claim the university vehemently denies. This seizure follows escalating tensions between the government and Nicaragua's Catholic Church, whose leaders acted as mediators during the 2018 anti-government protests.
