“The freedom of speech situation in Nicaragua has reached a new extreme,” the president of the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), Honduran Jorge Canahuati, said in an interview with EFE news agency. He noted that Latin America on the whole is moving “backwards” due to a boom in populist governments, which result in a “less informed” society.
Canahuati is in Madrid to pick up an award from the Global Conference of Lawyers for Nicaraguan journalist Cristiana Chamorro. The opposition candidate for elections in November was arrested by Daniel Ortega’s government on June 2nd on fabricated money laundering charges.
