Cuba and Venezuela need to be held to account for this.

Cuadras said 350 people have been killed, 169 disappeared and 3,000 have been wounded by police agents since April’s protests began. At least 20 people were killed on July 8, the Economist reported.

“The regime has not stopped its thirst for blood and vengeance,” Cuadras said. “Trying to cling to power, it hasn’t had the sense to think of the acts it’s carrying out against the Nicaraguan people.”

The 25-year-old student also alleged that Cuban and Venezuelan intelligence agents have been active in Nicaragua since Ortega assumed power in 2007.


“Castro copied his recipe for repression and harassment in Venezuela, and now they are doing it in Nicaragua,” Cuadras said. “There are many people who, while being tortured, heard the accents of Venezuela and Cuba in the clandestine prisons.”

You can't be serious. Held to account for excesses in Nicaragua? How old are you? Apparently not old enough to remember Reagan and his underhanded deals selling weapons to Iran to raise money for Nicaraguan death squads.l

Oh I remember them...very well. However, Cuba and Venezuela are now playing political games in Nicaragua and are allied with Ortega....people are being murdered and it is under order of Ortega. Are protesters innocent? Not completely...however, we demand people take back their countries and then let them be murdered as we stand idly by.
