A judge in Nicaragua has convicted former presidential hopeful Miguel Mora of “conspiracy to undermine national integrity” after a trial lasting a few hours. Mora is one of about 46 political detainees rounded up last year by Nicaragua’s government.
FILE - Protesters yell from behind the road block they erected as they face off with security forces near the University Politecnica de Nicaragua, UPOLI, in Managua, Nicaragua, Saturday, April 21, 2018. Nicaragua's National Assembly, controlled by President Daniel Ortega, outlawed four private universities on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022. Among the schools whose legal standing the assembly canceled was the UPOLI, which was a hotbed of antigovernment protests in 2018.
Mora’s hopes to run in the Nov. 7 elections were truncated after President Daniel Ortega ordered him and six other contenders arrested in May and June. Téllez, 65, led an assault on the National Palace in 1978 during the Somoza family dictatorship, holding congress members hostage in exchange for the release of rebel prisoners. Following Anastasio Somoza’s overthrow the next year, Téllez served as health minister in the first Sandinista government, which was led by Ortega from 1979 to 1990.She later split with Ortega and became a leader of the opposition Sandinista Renovation Movement.
Núñez spoke Monday, after prosecutors announced they were starting trials for 46 political figures arrested between May and June.
