Masaya, Nicaragua. La ciudad de Masaya comenzó a enterrar este miércoles a sus muertos por la represión que ha sufrido a manos de las fuerzas gubernamentales, las cuales mantienen su asedio contra la población, que se declaró en rebeldía contra el gobierno del presidente Daniel Ortega.

Al menos tres personas murieron la víspera en Masaya, 35 kms al sur de Managua, y uno más falleció en enfrentamientos en Estelí, 110 kms al norte, lo que elevó a 187 el número de víctimas fatales desde que el 18 de abril estallaron las protestas contra el gobierno de Ortega, según el Centro Nicaragüense de Derechos Humanos (Cenidh).
