(Reuters) -Nicaragua's government is expanding its repression of opponents beyond its borders, targeting Nicaraguans abroad in an escalating campaign to silence critics in exile, the U.N. Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) said on Tuesday.
In a 36-page report presented in Geneva to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the group document how the government of Daniel Ortega and his wife, co-President Rosario Murillo, has persecuted thousands of Nicaraguans abroad, many of whom fled their country following brutal repression after anti-government protests in 2018.
