Washington. Estados Unidos condenó el jueves el “dramático deterioro” de los derechos humanos en Nicaragua, tras la detención de un obispo católico crítico del Gobierno del presidente Daniel Ortega.

“Se produjo un dramático deterioro del respeto a los principios democráticos y a los derechos humanos por parte del régimen de Nicaragua, incluyendo el encarcelamiento de líderes democráticos, miembros de la oposición política, estudiantes y periodistas”, dijo la secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, Karine Jean-Pierre.
