Two Nicaraguan journalists held on terrorism charges

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Nicaraguan authorities to stop hounding independent media outlets and immediately free two journalists held on “terrorism” and “conspiracy” charges – Miguel Mora, the owner and director of the 24-hour TV news channel 100% Noticias, and Lucía Pineda Ubau, its news director. Mora and Pineda, who are also accused of “inciting hatred” of the national police, were arrested on the evening of 21 December after around 40 riot police stormed into the TV channel’s premises.
