The Ortega dictatorship deprived another 94 Nicaraguans of their nationality and citizenship rights “perpetually”, on Wednesday. On orders of the country’s ruling couple, they were accused by the Public Ministry of the fabricated crime of “treason”, by Managua criminal court judges.
They had already made the same accusation and stripped the nationality of 222 political prisoners released from jails and exiled on February 9th.
In addition, it was ordered to “immobilize and confiscate in favor of the State of Nicaragua all real estate and companies that the new defendants have registered in their favor, either in their personal capacity, or of legal persons or companies in which they participate as partners, to answer for the crimes committed.”
The list includes the director of Confidencial, Carlos Fernando Chamorro, and his wife, Desiree Elizondo; the auxiliary bishop of Managua, Silvio Baez; the president of the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights, Vilma Núñez; the writers Sergio Ramírez and Gioconda Belli; the former commander of the National Directorate of the FSLN in the eighties, Luis Carrion; the ex-guerrilla Monica Baltodano; former Foreign Minister Norman Caldera; the former ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Arturo McFields; ex-prosecutor Yader Morazan, and ex-deputy Eliseo Nuñez Morales, among others.
The presiding magistrate of the Court, Ernesto Rodríguez Mejía, read the resolutions in which additional penalties of absolute disqualification from holding public office, exercising public office on behalf of or at the service of the State of Nicaragua were also imposed, as well as holding positions of popular election and the loss of their citizen rights in perpetuity, respectively.
In addition, “the defendants” were declared “fugitives from justice,” according to Rodríguez.
