At least three people died Thursday after a raid by police and illegal armed groups in the Nicaraguan indigenous town of Sutiaba, northwest of the city of León, where a block was found on the highway , according to the local priest, Víctor Morales
The religious told the AFP news agency that "there is a lot of tension and we confirmed that we have at least three dead."
He also added that the victims were identified as Dany López, 21-year-old Junior Núñez, 22, and Alex Vázquez, 24, who were shot dead when government forces entered Sutiaba to build a roadblock.
After launching the barricades, Núñez and Vázquez "were refugees in a house" where police entered and shot them, said Morales
. The action also left 22 injured and 14 detainees, including a 12-year-old boy and two journalists, according to protesters [1]. Meanwhile, two committees will resume the national dialogue on Monday, with the aim of finding a peaceful solution to the crisis that is shaking the country. The Episcopal Conference confirmed that it had made the request to the Electoral and Verification Commission.
Nicaragua has been in crisis since April 18, when a series of protests began for social security reforms. Although days later, the president revoked the measures, the protests continued to require the resignation of Ortega, who has been in power since 2006.
