The police and prosecutors of the dictatorship in Nicaragua evicted six Jesuits from their home in Managua despite presenting evidence of ownership, as was denounced on Saturday by the Central American Province of the Society of Jesus.
“Early in the afternoon of August 19, the Nicaraguan police appeared together with members of the judiciary at the Jesuits’ home, the Villa Carmen residence (next to the Central American University, but owned by the Society of Jesus), to demand their eviction arguing that this house is also property of the State of Nicaragua”, denounced the statement released last night.
The members of the religious community handed over to the authorities “the property deed documentation that affects the house as a different asset from the UCA and property of the Society of Jesus,” says the Jesuit Order. However, these tests were ignored by the agents, who ignored the documentation and ordered the Jesuits to leave the place.
