At least 14 dead after Nicaragua pro-government forces raid
MANAGUA, July 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A raid by pro-government forces left at
least 14 people dead in southwestern Nicaragua Sunday, a human rights group
said.
“This has been a horror. We have a minimum of 14 dead, but it could be
more. That includes at least one anti-riot officer, one paramilitary member
and two police officers,” Vilma Nunez, president of the Nicaraguan Center for
Human Rights (CENIDH), told AFP of the raid in the Diriamba and Jinotepe
areas.
