Nicaragua has filed a new case at the International Court of Justice against Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Canada for their support of Israel through arms.
Much like South Africa, Nicaragua is trying to whitewash its human rights issues by pretending to care for Palestinians.
I'm here to remind you that:
1. During 2017, there were widespread and violent demonstrations against the government of President Daniel Ortega, as a result of these demonstrations, about 300 people were killed and about 500 people were imprisoned. About 60,000 citizens fled the country fearing the measures of the authorities
2. The government has waged a relentless campaign against independent media and journalists, employing harassment, censorship, and the outright revocation of legal statuses to silence critical voices.
3. Political prisoners in Nicaragua are subjected to ill-treatment and torture, showcasing the government's disdain for human dignity.
4. The judiciary in Nicaragua operates as a puppet of the ruling party, undermining the rule of law and the impartial protection of human rights.
5. The government has systematically targeted NGOs and civil society groups, employing legal mechanisms to throttle their operations.
6. Indigenous communities have been subjected to land invasions, violence, and neglect by the government, threatening their survival, culture, and access to natural resources.
