The new year has seen the Nicaraguan dictatorship cancel the legal personhood of 15 nonprofit organizations, adding to the more than 5,400 nongovernmental organizations shut down since 2018 by the regime of President Daniel Ortega and his wife and “co-president,” Rosario Murillo. The official government newspaper La Gaceta announced last week the “voluntary dissolution” of 11 such organizations, including Save the Children and the Dominican Nuns Foundation.
