OFAC SANCTIONS 3 NICARAGUAN JUDICIAL OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

On 19 April, OFAC advised that it had designated 3 Nicaraguan judicial officials involved in human rights abuses conducted by the regime of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and the broader oppression of Nicaraguan citizens who oppose his government.  The 3 individuals designated today are judges or presiding magistrates in the Managua District Court of Appeals, the Second District Trial Court in Managua, and the First Criminal Appeals Court of Managua.  These courts affirmed decisions that revoked the citizenship of more than 300 Nicaraguan citizens.
