Abstract:
The present report, submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to its resolution 49/3, sets out the conclusions of the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua. The report gives an overview of the Group’s findings with respect to serious human rights abuses and violations perpetrated in Nicaragua since April 2018, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, arbitrary deprivation of nationality and violations of the right to remain in one’s own country. The Group finds reasonable grounds to believe that these violations and abuses were perpetrated in a widespread and systematic manner for political reasons and, having verified all elements, that they constitute evidence of crimes against humanity.
