The Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (Cenidh) began the campaign through its different social networks: “Five years of struggle and resistance”commemorating the fifth anniversary of the civic rebellion on April 19, 2018.
The initiative will take place between the 17th and 21st of this month, the most acute days of the social protests, and in which the first victims of government repression were registered.

The activity, according to the organization, consists of remembering each day an event and a moment “that symbolizes the cruelty and unreasonableness of unlimited repression against a people that resists despite terror.”
“On this fifth anniversary of the civic protest of April 2018, we continue to raise our voice, denouncing to the world the persistence and increase of human rights violations in Nicaragua,” Cenidh added through its Twitter account.
Five years after the April rebellion, the Nicaraguan dictatorship has not ceased its repressive level against Nicaraguans, as arbitrary arrests, exiles and sieges against opponents continue.

Recently, the dictator Daniel Ortega declared April 19: “National Day of Peace”, yet he keeps behind bars more than 40 political prisoners, including Monsignor Roland Álvarez, bishop of the Diocese of Matagalpa.
Since December 12, 2018, the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights has been working without legal personality, after the Daniel Ortega regime canceled it under the argument that it had “disnaturalized its legal personality by not acting in accordance with the purposes and objectives for which they were constituted as a non-profit organization and granted legal personality, such as achieving peace with justice in Nicaragua, on the contrary, they used the organizational scheme for other purposes.”
Cenidh has been one of the human rights organizations that have not stopped denouncing and providing support to the victims of the repression of the Nicaraguan regime.
