Five more opposition leaders held as Nicaraguan president continues crackdown
The government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega arrested five opposition leaders during a major weekend round-up, in what appears to be widespread detentions of anyone who might challenge his rule.
The four arrests on Sunday and one on Saturday suggest Mr Ortega has moved beyond arresting potential rival candidates in the November 7 elections, and has begun arresting any prominent member of the opposition.
