The United States has imposed visa restrictions on 100 Nicaraguan officials it accuses of being involved in President Daniel Ortega’s escalating crackdown on political opponents ahead of November elections and other rights abuses. In a statement on Monday, the US State Department said the restrictions would affect 100 members of the Nicaraguan assembly and judicial system, including prosecutors and judges, as well as some of their family members. US visas held by the designated individuals have been revoked, the department said, without saying which officials were subject to the restrictions.
