He said that these actions of the ruling Sandinista Front occur after the “unconstitutional reforms promoted by the Daniel Ortega regime, which reinforce its repressive control.”
Last week, dictator Daniel Ortega reformed 130 articles of the Political Constitution of Nicaragua. Among the modifications included the imposition of Rosario Murillo as “co-president”, the submission of all powers of the State to the designs of the Executive, the Army’s willingness to repress in the streets together with the Police, an open letter to censorship and cutting of rights and freedoms of Nicaraguans.
Detention of entire families
The Monitoring also denounced that, in addition to the “unjust arrests”, the Ortega movement and its cronies in the Police “treat family members viciously, denying them information about the whereabouts of the detained people and disappearing them for days”, which in the opinion of This organization “feeds misinformation, creating an environment of anguish and anxiety.”

“Particularly alarming is the record of entire families detained, including minor children and 10 elderly adults in a vulnerable state, whose whereabouts are also unknown,” said the organization, which still has informants in the national territory.
Likewise, he pointed out that this situation “evidences the lack of respect for basic human rights and reinforces a climate of fear and uncertainty in the country.”
Among the people who have been detained in this new wave ordered by Sandinismo, according to complaints that have been shared on social networks, are the journalist Leo Catalino Cárcamo, the doctor and university professor Arnoldo Toruño and the businessman and journalist Henry Briceño.
