Statement of the Working Group on Nicaragua of the Permanent Council of the OAS

Statement of the Working Group on Nicaragua of the Permanent Council of the OAS
Working Group condemns the decision of the Government of Nicaragua to suspend the presence of IACHR mechanisms in Nicaragua
The Working Group on Nicaragua of the Permanent Council of the OAS,
Expresses its strongest condemnation of the decision of the Government of Nicaragua to suspend the presence of the Special Follow-up Mechanism for Nicaragua (MESENI), and visits of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), as well as the unilateral and abrupt decision to terminate the term, objective and mission of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI).
Strongly condemns the persecution in recent weeks of human rights organizations, in particular through their criminalization and the cancellation of legal status, as well as the repeated violations of the freedom of expression of journalists and the media in Nicaragua.
Reiterates its concern over the obstacles that MESENI and the GIEI have continually faced in carrying out their respective mandates and the failure of Nicaragua to comply with the agreements established with both mechanisms and the IACHR.
Urges the Nicaraguan Government to reconsider its decision and allow the international human rights mechanisms of both the OAS and the United Nations to return to the country and ensure all the guarantees necessary to enable them to carry out their mandate independently, as well as their unrestricted access to detention centers and public institutions and to fully comply with all the precautionary measures granted by the IACHR.
Expresses its support for the work of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Nicaragua and, in particular, for the continuation of the work of MESENI from IACHR headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Reaffirms its solidarity with the Nicaraguan people and with human rights defenders, social communicators, victims, political prisoners and their families.
Reiterates its willingness to continue working with a view to having a constructive, peaceful, and sincere dialogue with the Government of Nicaragua.
