CWN Editor's Note: The Nicaraguan government of Daniel Ortega has shut down the Jesuit-run Central American University (UCA), charging that it is a “center of terrorism.”
Last week the government had frozen the bank accounts of the UCA, and reportedly ordered the confiscation of the school’s assets, effectively crippling the institution, which has an enrollment of nearly 10,000 students.
The Ortega regime has escalated its attacks on the Catholic Church in recent months, deporting of clerics and forcing the closure of Catholic institutions.
