Flash Discussion: Religious persecution in Nicaragua: Seizure of Jesuit University, expelling religious orders and incarceration of Bishop and priests
Thursday, September 7, 2023
4:00pm Eastern US time

Join us for this informal conversation.

The government of Nicaragua recently declared the Jesuit religious order illegal, confiscating all its property there, including the Jesuit-run University of Central America (UCA), arguing it was a “center of terrorism.” The prestigious university, which was a hub for 2018 protests against the regime of President Daniel Ortega, is just the latest of more than 25 universities in Nicaragua that have been similarly seized since December 2021. 
 
What is the context for this situation? What has happened with UCA and the Jesuit order in the ensuing weeks? What are the consequences for the UCA community, for the Nicaraguan regime, and for the prospects of a return to democracy?
