The UN Human Rights Council for Central America has condemned the Nicaraguan government for the enforced disappearance of Bishop Isidoro Moro. The government has been questioned about the bishop’s whereabouts, with suspicions raised that his life may be in danger.

The Nicaraguan government has been accused of violating the right to religious freedom by detaining and hiding Bishop Moro, as well as other religious leaders. Human rights organizations have issued strong condemnations of these actions, calling them a violation of fundamental freedoms.

This comes amid a backdrop of political and tribal leaders, human rights activists, and social media figures also being unlawfully detained and tortured by the Nicaraguan government. The government’s crackdown on dissent and opposition has sparked international concern and condemnation.

Despite these troubling developments, the Nicaraguan Catholic Church continues to speak out for the people. Last Saturday, Cardinal Leopoldo José Brenes Solórzano ordained 9 new priests in the Cathedral of Managua on the Feast of the Epiphany.

The situation in Nicaragua continues to raise serious human rights concerns, with the international community calling for the government to respect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. The enforced disappearance of Bishop Isidoro Moro is just one example of the troubling crackdown on dissent and opposition in Nicaragua.
