#Nicaragua’s government has #outlawed 1,500 non-governmental organisations, part of a longstanding #crackdown on #CivilSocietyGroups viewed as hostile by President #DanielOrtega.
The move, published in the official government gazette on Monday, also involves the confiscation of assets belonging to the mostly religious groups by the state.
The #Nicaraguan #RedCross and several #CatholicCharities are among the #NGOs shuttered to date, with many hit by charges dismissed as spurious.
