He reported that the Group\u2019s findings are based on more than 1,900 interviews and the review of over 9,300 documents, documenting patterns of serious, systematic, and widespread human rights violations and abuses committed since 2018 against an increasingly broad range of Nicaraguan citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Simon also voiced concern over the closure of independent media outlets and the systematic dismantling of social sectors capable of mobilising the population. He recalled that thousands of non-profit organisations and the few remaining independent media outlets have been forced to shut down, further narrowing civic space across the country.<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Mr. Camprub\u00ed expressed the Order of Malta&#8217;s grave concern over the deteriorating human rights situation in Nicaragua, noting that peaceful civilians are being deprived of basic rights and freedoms. He highlighted the growing marginalisation of human rights defenders and organisations, including non-governmental and religious groups, whose activities have been restricted or banned, despite their essential humanitarian and social work.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Camprub\u00ed expressed the Order of Malta&#8217;s alarm over the repression of religious communities, including the detention and expulsion of clergy, the harassment of worshippers, and the prohibition of religious observances. He also voiced the Order&#8217;s concern over reported violations of international labour standards, particularly forced and child labour.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Camprub\u00ed stressed that these combined human rights violations deprive Nicaraguans of access to healthcare, education, food, water, sanitation, and freedom of belief, and called on the international community to stand with the people of Nicaragua to restore dignity, safety, and opportunity to all.<\/p>\n","news_gallery":"no"},"news_categories":[{"id":20,"name":"Delegation and Staff","slug":"delegation-and-staff","description":"","link":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/news-categories\/delegation-and-staff\/"},{"id":21,"name":"News","slug":"news","description":"","link":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/news-categories\/news\/"},{"id":16,"name":"Statements","slug":"statements","description":"","link":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/news-categories\/statements\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie\/3280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie\/3280\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionny.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
