Official Title
Condemning the violence, persecution, intimidation, and murders committed by the Government of Nicaragua against its citizens.
Summary
Condemns the violence, persecution, and murders of peaceful protesters by the government of Nicaragua.
Calls on the United States to continue to condemn the atrocities in Nicaragua, demand the release of individuals wrongfully detained, and identify individuals whose involvement in the violence qualifies for the imposition of sanctions.
We need to do whatever we can to stop the human rights abuses here in our hemisphere and punish the Ortega Regime before Nicaragua turns into Venezuela 2.0. We cannot afford more suffering in neighboring nations and increased illegal immigration which would surely be a result of a full blow crisis.
I am writing about your upcoming meeting: Nicaraguan Crisis: Next Steps to Advancing Democracy and H.Res. 981: Condemning the violence, persecution, intimidation, and murders committed by the Government of Nicaragua against its citizens. I am a US citizen of Nicaraguan descent and I fully support stronger actions against the government of Nicaragua who are killing unarmed citizens on a daily basis since April, peaceful marchers, bystander and even families with babies inside their houses. Please the entire community of citizens of Nicaraguan descent and their friends ask for your help.
Nicaraguan People Need Accions now against the Ortega Regim, Please Help
We need actions against the massacre in Nicaragua. The killing must stop now.
The Nicaraguan People are being murdered for the simple reason of protesting pacifically on the streets...Paramilitary forces created by the ORTEGA regimen are simply shooting the people without police intervention...war guns are being used and ships from Venezuela are bringing for guns without any control by the government....ORTEGA must be stopped before more blood is shed!!..SOS NICARAGUA
For democratization of our continent. Let us not be numb to what is happening in our backyard.
I am 39 years old and know the president Daniel Ortega, he always was present in the other president actions. Now the citizens are scared and there are persecutions. Please help Nicaragua.
Please take immediate action to stop heinous crimes the government of Nicaragua, and their financed paramilitaries (domestic and foreign) are committing against innocent civilians, killing anyone out protesting, kidnapping people out of their homes by force, including the burning alive of entire families when they refuse to cooperate with their war tactics, Please also support
reolution 981 https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-resolution/981/text
SOS NICARAGUA!!! It’s urgent that we do something to stop the massacre of civilians. Turning our head to the other side of this crisis is inmoral and inhuman.
Please do something, the people of Nicaragua are being massacred.
I am Us citizen but also a Nicaraguan. I am kindly requesting you help Nicaraguans by supporting any law the United States can sanction Daniel Ortega and his people. He is killing civilians.
We must do something to stop the civil rights violations of these people!
Please condemn the masacre that is taking place in Nicaragua by Ortega against peaceful demonstrators tired of an undemocratic government
