Amnesty turns truth on its head in Nicaragua
The NGO should give up all pretence in being an impartial source of information about human rights in Nicaragua and indeed in the region as a whole, says LOUISE RICHARDS

OUR report, Dismissing the Truth, lays bare the biased and flawed nature of Amnesty International’s reporting on Nicaragua. 

As the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign’s report states, Amnesty International has a history of producing controversial and unbalanced reports on Nicaragua which began soon after the Sandinista revolution defeated the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. 

The organisation’s bias has continued for decades, to such an extent that Amnesty should now give up all pretence to be an impartial source of information about human rights in Nicaragua and indeed in the region as a whole.
