Nicaragua protests: People still living in fear

Nicaraguan security forces launched what they called a ‘clean-up operation’ on Monimbo, a historical bastion of resistance since the Sandinista revolution.

Rights groups have criticised the government’s violent crackdown on anti-government protests.

Almost 300 people have died in three months of demonstrations.

Gunmen are now roaming the streets of Masaya, a city west of Managua, after suppressing protests. Many of the inhabitants are living in fear.
