El Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos, Volker T\u00fcrk, exigi\u00f3 que el r\u00e9gimen nicarag\u00fcense proporcione informaci\u00f3n sobre el paradero y la condici\u00f3n del obispo Abelardo Mata, quien ha sido objeto de desaparici\u00f3n forzada desde finales de junio.<\/p>\n

\u00abEstoy preocupado por los informes de represi\u00f3n contra la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica y otras denominaciones religiosas, incluida la falta de informaci\u00f3n oficial sobre el destino, el paradero y la condici\u00f3n del obispo Abelardo Mata Guevara, de 80 a\u00f1os, quien fue detenido el 29 de junio\u00bb, el alto comisionado declar\u00f3<\/a> el 22 de julio, seg\u00fan el sitio web de la organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u00abInsto a las autoridades a liberar de inmediato a todas las personas que han sido detenidas arbitrariamente y a garantizar que todos los detenidos sean tratados con humanidad y dignidad de acuerdo con las obligaciones de Nicaragua bajo el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos\u00bb, dijo T\u00fcrk.<\/p>\n

Mata, el obispo em\u00e9rito de Estel\u00ed,<\/a> fue detained twice<\/a> por la polic\u00eda a finales de junio despu\u00e9s de orar por la Iglesia perseguida en Nicaragua durante una misa que celebr\u00f3 el domingo 28 de junio.<\/p>\n

Se desconoce su paradero<\/a>, aunque la dictadura ha declarado que se encuentra en su casa.<\/p>\n

Los obispos centroamericanos<\/a> han pedido al r\u00e9gimen que permita que sea visto por un m\u00e9dico, y varias personas notables han expresado su preocupaci\u00f3n por el obispo de 80 a\u00f1os, quien padece diabetes y problemas de visi\u00f3n, y utiliza un marcapasos para una afecci\u00f3n card\u00edaca.<\/p>\n

Ortega anuncia que no habr\u00e1 elecciones en Nicaragua<\/h2>\n

El alto comisionado tambi\u00e9n abord\u00f3 el anuncio hecho por Daniel Ortega el domingo 19 de julio durante un evento p\u00fablico que conmemora el 47 aniversario de la Revoluci\u00f3n Sandinista, que no habr\u00eda m\u00e1s elecciones en Nicaragua.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHago un llamado a las autoridades para que reabran el espacio c\u00edvico y restauren el estado de derecho. Se debe permitir que personas de todos los puntos de vista pol\u00edticos voten y se postulen para cargos p\u00fablicos, de acuerdo con las obligaciones internacionales de derechos humanos del estado\u201d, dijo T\u00fcrk.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s del anuncio sobre las elecciones, la oficina del alto comisionado tambi\u00e9n inform\u00f3 que a principios de este mes, la dictadura nicarag\u00fcense revoc\u00f3 las credenciales de varios abogados sin base legal ni explicaci\u00f3n oficial en un momento en que \u201cal menos 46 personas permanecen detenidas arbitrariamente por razones pol\u00edticas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Esto se ve agravado por el hecho de que el partido gobernante controla la Asamblea Nacional, los municipios y los consejos regionales; que diversos territorios ind\u00edgenas \u201cse ven afectados por concesiones mineras y extractivas\u201d; y que muchas de ellas han sido otorgadas sin una consulta genuina o el consentimiento de los pueblos ind\u00edgenas.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrk se\u00f1al\u00f3 que todos estos eventos \u201cprofundizan a\u00fan m\u00e1s las severas restricciones a las libertades fundamentales, el desmantelamiento del espacio c\u00edvico y la erosi\u00f3n constante del estado de derecho\u201d en Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
