Nicaragua's Ongoing Human Rights Abuses: A Rights Crisis Continues.

Amnesty International has released a report warning that the Nicaraguan government, led by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, is deepening repression in the country. The report documents abuses such as arbitrary detention, torture, and stripping dissidents of citizenship. The government has been accused of consolidating power and cracking down on voices of opposition since anti-austerity protests in 2018. The report states that the government has continued to “expand and reinvent” patterns of repression through various methods, including excessive force, attacks on civil society groups, and using the judiciary to target opponents.
