Nicaragua protests: Ortega opponents fear for their lives
Pro-government protesters have taken to the streets as intimidation of anti-government protesters causes many of the president’s opponents to go into hiding.
Supporters and opponents of Nicaragua’s president have resumed protests in the capital Managua.
Anti-government demonstrators want Daniel Ortega to resign, but they are now going into hiding, fearing for their safety as pro-government forces carry out what they call a “witch-hunt” to find opposition members.
Ortega accuses the anti-government demonstrators of plotting a coup to destabilise the country.
