Managua. La justicia nicaragüense condenó este jueves a penas de hasta 13 años de prisión a siete opositores, entre ellos tres exaspirantes a la presidencia que planeaban competir el año pasado contra el mandatario Daniel Ortega, finalmente reelecto, informó una fuente humanitaria.

Los tres exprecandidatos presidenciales condenados son el economista Juan Chamorro, el politólogo Félix Maradiaga, ambos con una pena de 13 años, y el exembajador Arturo Cruz, condenado a nueve años, indicó en Twitter el Centro Nicaragüense de Derechos Humanos (Cenidh) que documenta los juicios.
