Transnational repression has become a form of persecution of freedom of opinion and action for Nicaraguans in exile. This reality must be made visible and confronted.

Central America has evolved toward political models that persecute dissent and increasingly hinder the exercise of individual and collective freedoms. This pattern has broken down national borders, and there are already facts demonstrating that persecution of civil society organizations and individuals is being carried out from other countries in the region.

This conversation with members of Nicaraguan civil society organizations in exile aims to shed light on the systematic pattern of transnational repression exercised by the Nicaraguan state against political exiles, especially in countries like Costa Rica, in order to present the current situation, its impacts and the regional context in which it occurs.

This session also aims to strengthen exchanges and collaboration with civil society organizations and media outlets in other countries, sharing the Nicaraguan experience of exile and promoting regional solidarity networks.
