The recent reform of the Cyber Crime Law marks an alarming shift in Nicaragua, enabling prosecution for online offenses even beyond national borders, effectively stifling dissent.
With tougher penalties for spreading 'misleading information' and increased prison sentences for social media misuse, the law strikes a significant blow against freedom of expression in Nicaragua.
Critics assert that these legal amendments serve to expand the regime's control over independent media and social networks, choking off the last remains of free speech.
The enhancement of the Cyber Crime Law reflects a broader strategy by Ortega and Murillo to silence any and all criticism, regardless of geographic location.
