IACHR: Situation in Nicaragua 'getting worse every day' The head of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) says "the situation in Nicaragua is getting worse every day", as a months-long deadly crackdown on anti-government protesters continues. The US and the international community have repeatedly urged Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to cease violence against activists, but the IACHR's Paulo Abrao says the government's behavior in recent days does not seem to be "open to dialogue and international aid".
