CWN Editor's Note: The Nicaraguan government has arrested at least 12 priests and closed down several parishes in the north of the country, in the latest offensive against the Catholic Church.
The human-rights group Colectivo Nicaragua Nunca Mas reports “a repressive escalation against priests,” in recent days, with several of the priests “now missing and in a state of enforced disappearance.”
