Washington. El gobierno estadounidense de Joe Biden publicó este martes el informe anual del Departamento de Estado sobre derechos humanos en el que Cuba y Nicaragua salen muy mal parados.

El documento señala a los gobiernos que “han encarcelado, torturado o incluso asesinado injustamente a opositores políticos, activistas, defensores de los derechos humanos o periodistas” citando, además de Rusia y China, a Corea del Norte, Siria y Nicaragua, donde acusa al presidente Daniel Ortega de favorecer “activamente la impunidad” de quienes violan los derechos humanos si les son leales.

El texto, que abarca 198 países y territorios, documenta abusos contra manifestantes pacíficos que exigen democracia y libertades fundamentales en Birmania, Bielorrusia, Hong Kong, Sudán o Cuba, un “estado autoritario”, dice, donde la mayoría de los abusos son cometidos por “funcionarios gubernamentales bajo la dirección de sus superiores”.
