Nicaraguan-born Bianca Jagger, former wife of Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, has warned that the country’s last ray of hope is the church (including evangelicals) – and that it has become the target of the country’s totalitarian government.
She also claimed that Nicaragua’s independent media and educational institutions are being trampled by President Daniel Ortega in order to dismantle the country’s democratic society.
Speaking at the launch of ‘Silencing Democracy in Nicaragua’, an ad hoc report by UK Parliamentarians, Bianca Jagger said: ‘This report includes voices of those targeted by the dictatorial Ortega regime. It investigates extrajudicial executions; arbitrary detentions; torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; arbitrary deprivation of nationality; and violation of the right to remain in one’s country’.
