UN strengthens investigative human rights mechanism for Nicaragua amid evidence of crimes
In the light of crimes against humanity in Nicaragua, NGOs call for 2-year renewal of the GHREN
"We believe in a Nicaragua without dictatorship, where everyone can participate in the life of their community and express what they think. A Nicaragua in which the human rights of all people are guaranteed and those who speak out when they are violated are protected. A country in which truth and justice are guaranteed without exception, especially towards those groups that have historically been discriminated against"
