This report highlights the government's ongoing crackdown on dissent and its assault on democratic institutions, which began in 2018 with mass protests. The situation in Nicaragua has significant implications for human rights and the rule of law, and may also have broader economic and trade implications, particularly if the government's actions lead to increased instability and unrest in the region.
