Ms. Que Banh#Nicaragua’s government has #outlawed 1,500 non-governmental organisations, part of a longstanding #crackdown on #CivilSocietyGroups viewed as hostile by President #DanielOrtega.

The #Nicaraguan #RedCross and several #CatholicCharities are among the #NGOs shuttered to date, with many hit by charges dismissed as spurious.
