Nicaraguan police on Friday detained a bishop and seven other priests and seminarians, after a 16-day standoff, in an escalation of tensions between the country’s government and the Catholic Church
Police entered the headquarters of the Matagalpa diocese and arrested Bishop Rolando Álvarez and the others, authorities said in a statement published on social media. The statement did not offer a reason for the arrests, but said they were a part of an investigation launched on Aug. 5 into"destabilizing and provocative" activities in the country. A later police statement added that all had been taken to capital city Managua for"legal inquiries.
In the run-up to the vote, his government began using a broad national security law as justification to imprison opposition presidential candidates, opposition leaders, journalists, human rights activists and others ahead of the vote. Since that year, the country now has"practically no independent media," according to press advocacy group Reporters without Borders.
