There was no opportunity to show innocence or guilt: 94 Nicaraguans were passed in the blink of an eye by the judicial guillotine of the Sandinista dictatorship, which stripped them not only of their nationality, but also of the assets they might have in the country.
Without accusations, without notifications, without hearings, without evidence, without witnesses, without defense, without due process, with nothing more than the noxious thirst for revenge, the draconian measure was taken by the judges and executioners paid by the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship.
The Sandinista president of the Court of Appeals of the Managua District, Ernesto Rodríguez Mejía, read the resolution supposedly at the request of the judges of the Penal Districts of Hearings of the Managua district.

The resolution also imposed accessory penalties of absolute and special disqualification from holding public office, holding public office on behalf of or at the service of the State of Nicaragua, as well as holding positions of popular election and the loss of their citizen rights in a manner life.
And the accusation? And the trial?
In addition, “the defendants” were declared “fugitives from justice”, according to Rodríguez, sanctioned by the United States and Europe along with the other judges for violation of human rights and corruption.
The Sandinista magistrate said that the 94 Nicaraguans were indicted by the Public Ministry for the alleged crimes of conspiracy to undermine national integrity in real competition with the crime of spreading false news through information and communication technology. , all to the detriment of the State of Nicaragua and society.
“The defendants carried out and continue to carry out criminal acts to the detriment of peace, sovereignty, independence and self-determination of the Nicaraguan people, inciting the destabilization of the country, promoting economic, commercial and financial blockades, all to the detriment of peace. and the well-being of the population,” said the sanctioned magistrate.
total rejection
The Managua appeals magistrates explained that they made that decision based on the unconstitutional «Special law that regulates the loss of Nicaraguan nationality». This controversial law was approved expeditiously last Thursday, as well as the Law for the Defense of People’s Rights to Independence, Sovereignty and Self-determination for Peace, published on December 22, 2020.
Ortega’s judicial officials notified the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the Ministry of the Interior and the Supreme Electoral Council of this spurious ruling. The decision was described by one of those affected as an act of fascism in the style of the criminal dictator Adolf Hitler, who, like Ortega, stripped Jewish citizens of all traces of humanity through decrees before stealing their property and sending them to die in prison. concentration camps.
The majority of Ortega’s victims also classify the resolution of the dictator’s judges as illegal, arbitrary and illegitimate.
«Nicaraguan by the Grace of God! And today more than ever, what right can a group of armed and soulless gangsters have to decide that I am no longer my mother’s son? None! The same moral value of an armed robbery by a gang of criminals,” opposition economist Enrique Sáenz, one of those affected by the measure, wrote on his social networks.
«I have lived my birthday with the disastrous news that the regime has withdrawn my nationality and has declared me a fugitive from justice. I am more unique than ever and more honored than any of that perverse lineage that the Ortega-Murillos are,” wrote journalist Jennifer Ortiz, director of Nicaragua Investiga, on her side. “For Nicaragua and for its freedom: journalism will not stop!” She sentenced on Twitter.
In less than seven days, Daniel Ortega has declared 317 Nicaraguans stateless, including the 222 former political prisoners who were released and exiled to the United States on February 9.
Among the new citizens that the regime has attacked this Wednesday, there are journalists and media directors, writers, priests and religious, human rights defense lawyers, sociologists and social researchers, filmmakers and environmentalists. The United States protested the measure and warned of consequences against the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship that has plagued Nicaragua since 2007.
