The Central American province of the Jesuit order has issued a formal rebuke to the government of Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega following the confiscation this week of the Central American University (UCA) of Managua.
titled “In defense of truth, justice, liberty and the right to education and in support of the UCA of Nicaragua,” the Jesuits deny the charges that the UCA has become a “center of terrorism,” calling the accusation “totally false and unfounded.”
“It is necessary and essential that our university be allowed to exercise its inalienable right to legitimate defense against said accusations,” they add. The text also insists that this “new government aggression” against the university is not an isolated event but rather part of a series of unjustified attacks against the Nicaraguan population and other educational and social institutions.
