Trí rannchuidiú le deireadh a chur le hiomaíocht toghcháin iarbhír, bhí ról lárnach aige maidir le hiolrachas polaitiúil a chur faoi chois agus briseadh cinntitheach dhaonlathas Nicearagua.

Dáta breithe: 28.6.1989 Inscne: baineann Naisiúntacht: Nicearaguach Is í Nahima Janett Diaz Flores Stiúrthóir an Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Services (TELCOR), eintiteas rialála na seirbhísí teileachumarsáide agus poist. Bhain údaráis Nicearagua úsáid as TELCOR chun meáin neamhspleácha a chur ina dtost, lena n-áirítear trí eagraíocht nuachta ó 2018. Le linn fheachtas olltoghchán 2021, bhí feachtais bhréagaisnéise á gcur chun feidhme ar mhórscála ag TELCOR. Mar an institiúid atá i gceannas ar chur chun feidhme an “dlí cibearshlándála”, tá gníomhaíochtaí maidir le sochaí shibhialta agus an freasúra daonlathach á n-ordú agus á n-oibriú ag TELCOR. Ina post, bhí Nahima Diaz Flores ag tacú leis an réimeas Ortega, agus tá gníomhaíochtaí bréagaisnéise agus faireachais ordaithe agus curtha i bhfeidhm aici trí TELCOR de sochaí shibhialta agus an freasúra daonlathach. Tá sí freagrach, dá bhrí sin, as sáruithe tromchúiseacha ar chearta an duine agus as an tsochaí shibhialta agus an freasúra daonlathach a bhrú faoi chois agus as an mbonn a bhaint ón daonlathas i Nicearagua. 10.1.2022 21.

Is é Daniel Ortega a cheap sa phost sin é mar luach saothair ar a dhílseacht. Sa ról a bhí aige roimhe seo, mar Rialaitheoir Ginearálta na Poblachta, chinntigh sé nach ndéanfaí iniúchadh ar ghníomhaíochtaí éillitheacha Ortega agus, ar an gcuma chéanna, rannchuidigh sé le smacht Ortega a choinneáil ar an réimeas. Tá sé freagrach, dá bhrí sin, as an mbonn a bhaint ón smacht reachta i Nicearagua, agus as cos ar bolg a imirt ar an tsochaí shibhialta agus ar an bhfreasúra daonlathach. 10.1.2022

Name Identifying information Reasons Date of listing 1. National Police of Nicaragua La Policía Nacional Nicaragüense Headquarters: Managua, Nicaragua Date of establishment: 22.8.1979 Website: http://www.policia.gob.ni/ The National Police of Nicaragua is responsible for the degrading treatment, including physical and psychological torture, of those who opposed the Ortega regime. It is responsible for the unlawful imprisonment of presidential pre-candidates, civil society leaders, student and rural leaders or independent journalists without any legal and democratic guarantees. The National Police was instrumental in Daniel Ortega avoiding facing any real democratic opposition during the general elections of 7 November 2021. Prior to those elections, the National Police conducted continuous surveillance and persecution of opposition leaders, unlawful residential break-ins and arbitrary arrests of opposition members, and it systematically threatened public employees. In 2018, the National Police was involved in killings of peaceful protesters across Nicaragua. The National Police of Nicaragua is therefore responsible for serious violations of human rights, repression of civil society and democratic opposition, and undermining democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua. 10.1.2022 2. Supreme Electoral Council Consejo Supremo Electoral Address: Pista Juan Pablo II, Managua 14005, Nicaragua Website: https://www.cse.gob.ni/ Email: info@cse.gob.ni The Supreme Electoral Council (SEC) is the body responsible for the preparation, holding and certification of the general elections of 7 November 2021, which by their lack of transparency, true opposition and democratic debate, undermined democratic institutions and processes. The SEC deprived the opposition of the opportunity to stand for free elections and ensured the organisation of polls in non-democratic conditions. The SEC is therefore responsible for the repression of democratic opposition and for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua. 10.1.2022 3. Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Services Address: Avenida Bolívar, Esquina diagonal al edifico de la Cancillería, Aptdo 2664, Managua 10000, Nicaragua Date of registration: 12.6.1982 Website: https://www.telcor.gob.ni The Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Services (TELCOR) is the regulatory entity for telecommunications and postal services. It has been used by the Nicaraguan authorities to silence independent media, including three news organisations since 2018, during the repression of 2018 and after the general elections of 2021. During the general elections campaign, TELCOR was implementing a disinformation campaign on a large scale. As the institution in charge of the implementation of the “cybersecurity law”, TELCOR has been commanding and operating surveillance actions regarding civil society and democratic opposition. TELCOR is therefore responsible for serious violations of human rights, and repression of civil society and democratic opposition. 10.1.2022
