Ortega: US Sways Human Rights
Group
Nicaraguan President Daniel
Ortega in this capital Friday
accused the Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights (ICHR)
of being a politicized entity,
influenced by the US government.
"The ICHR is a politicized
commission that responds to
determined interests, and
unfortunately, the influence of
the US government has always
been present," the Sandinista
leader said on Thursday.
Ortega made the comment after
being questioned on the
organization s recent decision
to declare inadmissible an
accusation of discrimination and
xenophobia presented by
Nicaragua against Costa Rica.
"I have no doubt that the US
government s influence, which
has leveraged the ICHR several
times, was decisive in favoring
Costa Rica," stated the
Nicaraguan statesman.
Ortega announced that Nicaragua
will turn to other institutions
to demand justice.
The Nicaraguan demand is related
to a case of the death of two
Nicaraguan immigrants in Costa
Rica between 2005 and 2006.
