WASHINGTONJun 13 – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that Washington will impose visa restrictions on 93 more people believed to have undermined democracy in Nicaragua after what he described as the “illegitimate” election of President Daniel Ortega in 2021.
The United States “remains deeply concerned about the unjust detentions of political prisoners by the Ortega-Murillo regime and the ongoing abuses against members of civil society,” Blinken said in a statement.
The targets of the visa restriction measures include judges, prosecutors, members of the national assembly and officials from the Ministry of the Interior, Blinken said.
