Thank you for highlighting this important issue. I hadn't heard about it before.

Lol if it’s in the Guardian it must be true! Just like Modi is a ‘fascist’ Ortega is another brutal Latin American dictator to you and your fellow left liberal “intellectual” ilk! I think the opposite of what you say is more likely closer to the truth. Living the good life in the West you are just another apologist and a propaganda tool for western interference in other countries affairs, in Lenin’s words a “useful idiot” for them. No wonder VS Naipaul didn’t think much of you.

"Another brutal Latin American dictator" looks a bit hyperbolic. Perhaps you should add "U.S. American", "British", "French", ... and you'll get a more accurate idea of dictatorship geographical span. As for truth, what is truth if not beauty on the way to the supermarket?

Thank you for drawing my attention to such a travesty. It has been too many years since I have heard much about what is going on there. I will read the articles you recommended and share them so that more people will become aware of Nicaragua's plight.
