After the banishment and deprivation of nationality to 222 political prisoners, arbitrariness increased even more in Nicaragua
Colombia’s left-wing President Gustavo Petro has accused Nicaragua's left-wing dictator Daniel Ortega of human rights violations.
Chile and Argentina are offering Nicaraguan exiles citizenship in their countries after Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega recently stripped his critics and opposition figures of their citizenship.
Earlier this month, Nicaragua exiled hundreds of its citizens, many of whom were political prisoners, to the United States. Their release marks a turning point for a government that has become increasingly authoritarian. Felix Maradiaga, a former Nicaraguan presidential candidate, was one of those exiled. He joined Geoff Bennett to discuss his experience inside Nicaragua's most notorious prison.
The Governments of Chile and Argentina are among those who would grant citizenship to the Nicaraguan expatriates who were expelled from their country earlier this month and stripped of their nationality on treason charges, it was reported Tuesday.
