Latin America Program

Since his election in 2007, Daniel Ortega has gradually dismantled Nicaragua鈥檚 democracy, silencing critics, censoring the news media and arresting opposition leaders. The international community has condemned the regime鈥檚 abuses and the United States has imposed a range of sanctions.

In this Latin American Program video explainer, we highlight the Ortega regime鈥檚 assault on Nicaragua鈥檚 democracy, the international community鈥檚 response, and insights from experts including leading Nicaraguan journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro; former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet; former longtime Human Rights Watch Americas Director Jos茅 Miguel Vivanco; and former President of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla.
