Ortega regime shuts down another Catholic radio station in Nicaragua (CNA)

Daniel Ortega, a leader of the Marxist Sandinistas who overthrew the authoritarian regime of Gen. Anastasio Somoza Debayle, ruled Nicaragua from the 1979 Sandinista takeover until his loss in the 1990 presidential election. He returned to power in 2007, and the persecution of the Church has intensified markedly in recent weeks.
