A total of 12 opposition figures have been now held, including four likely presidential candidates.

Nearly all of those detained have been accused of plotting against Nicaragua's sovereignty and independence and of organising terrorist acts with financial help from foreign powers.

Under the law, the government has the power to ban candidates from running for office if they are deemed to be traitors to Nicaragua. Anyone designated a traitor can be sent to prison for up to 15 years.

Ban ministers from lobbying for five years, Greensill review to proposeLord Evans to call for tougher rules to stop former ministers using contacts and expertise for private gain Not going to happen. The Tories have been driving a coach and horses thru the rules for 10 yrs. The current cohort aren’t going to forego their turn to suckle at the tit of public largesse. This deliberately misses the point. We could spend much time and effort trying to regulate those outside government who lobby those inside. Or we could be really strict about how those inside, meaning politicians and civil servants, are allowed to interact with those outside. Ban ministers from lobbying full stop. Either public work or private, not both.
