Nicaraguans Protest Organic Law
Around half a thousand people
demanded here the abolition of a
law approved at the end of 2006
by the National Assembly for
what they say is a violation of
constitutional rights.
Demonstrators, who marched on
the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ),
were convened by Movimiento por
Nicaragua.
Once before the maximum
authority of justice of the
nation, the civic group charged
as unconstitutional the
so-called Organic Law of
National Assembly.
According to Carlos Tunnermann,
one of the protest organizers,
the legislation has at least 15
points of conflict with the
Nicaraguan constitution.
The Main concern of Movimiento
por Nicaragua is related to
article 52, which demands
Nicaraguan citizens appear
before Parliament in case they
are called to give evidence.
If this is ignored, offenders
might be accused with contempt
of court.
