Nicolas Maduro is not the only leftist Latrine American dictator following Castro, Inc.’s Cuba Playbook. His pals Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo are also busy strengthening their corner of the Triangle of Latrine American Doom. It took Castro, Inc. at least one decade to squash the Catholic Church in Cuba and turn it into a slavish servant of “the Revolution.” Mister and Mrs. Ortega are definitely trying to speed up that same process in Nicaragua.

Two new reports are out detailing human rights violations in Nicaragua, one focusing on religious freedom and the other citing 870 attacks specifically targeting the Catholic Church.
On Aug. 13, the human rights watchdog group “Nicaragua nunca más” (“Nicaragua Never Again”) presented its fourth bulletin on religious freedom covering the period of April through July 2024 in which they charge that “the Ortega-Murillo regime has increased harassment against laypeople and religious leaders.”
“It is evident that these attacks are against priests, bishops, nuns, and parishioners, but not only against the Catholic Church but also against the evangelical church,” explained a member of the group, Wendy Quintero, during the presentation of the report.
“There are 420 Christian organizations that have been canceled, including Caritas Matagalpa,” she continued, including in that number the 15 that were closed on Aug. 12.
That day, the Nicaraguan dictatorship canceled the legal status of Caritas Matagalpa, the diocese of exiled bishop Rolando Álvarez, and that of five Christian churches through ministerial agreements published in the official government newspaper La Gaceta.
“At least 22 religious media outlets have been confiscated, the latest being Radio María, whose last broadcast was on July 9, 2024,” the human rights activist continued. That day, the dictatorship of President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, canceled the legal status of Radio María Nicaragua as well as that of several evangelical churches.
Quintero also noted that “51 priests have been exiled without trial, violating their rights to residency and freedom of movement.”
“There are at least 21 evangelical pastors who remain in exile and another three pastors were prevented from entering the country. This pattern of persecution has led to the expulsion and forced displacement of more than 200 actively committed Christians and to increased surveillance of activities carried out, especially by the Catholic Church.”
Quintero also said the dictatorship “has forced 34 priests to leave the country in the first four months of 2024. In total, since 2018 there are at least 222 actively committed Christians that have been exiled, including 91 nuns.”
“At least 52 actively committed Christians and their relatives have been identified who have been left in a situation of de facto statelessness,” meaning they have been stripped of their citizenship in the nation.

Love the photo. It’s almost too Latrine, meaning it could be taken for parody, only it’s obviously real. But hey, even repulsive tyrannical freaks are much better than Somoza, as long as they’re leftist freaks.
