Nicaragua crisis: '38 killed in bloodiest day' - NGO

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44779257

According to the Nicaraguan Centre for Human Rights (Cenidh), 38 people were killed during clashes in three areas.

Cenidh says 31 were anti-government protesters, four police officers and three members of pro-government groups.

Clashes between the security forces and anti-government protesters have been intensifying with deadly results.

Cenidh President Vilma Núñez told BBC Mundo that 35 people had been killed in the towns of Diriamba and Jinotepe and three more in the northern province of Matagalpa.
----------------------------------------------------
More than 300 people are reported to have been killed since the wave of protests against the government was triggered by changes to the social security system announced on 18 April.

The Castroists are so busy trying to save Ortegas bacon in Nicaragua, they have abandoned Honduras.
