UN: Nicaragua's Government Accused of Crimes Against Humanity Abuses

A panel of United Nations-backed human rights experts have accused Nicaragua's government, led by President Daniel Ortega, of committing "serious systematic human rights violations." The allegations follow an investigation into the country's expanding crackdown on political dissent. While the exact nature and scope of the violations were not specified in the given articles, they suggest that repression has expanded beyond targeting specific opponents and now affects large sectors of society. Two of the articles state that these violations are "tantamount to crimes against humanity."
