MEXICO CITY — In its continuing crackdown on dissent, Nicaragua has stripped 94 people of their citizenship.
On state TV, Appeals Court Justice Ernesto Rodríguez Mejía said Wednesday the 94 Nicaraguans were declared traitors. Rodríguez Mejía did not say whether the Nicaraguans were tried, but he said they were now "fugitives of the law," sentenced to a civil death — losing all of their rights, their property and their citizenship for life.
