Bill > SRes607

This Resolution condemns the Nicaraguan Government for the unjust imprisonment of eleven individuals associated with Mountain Gateway Order, Inc., a Christian organization, in December 2023. It highlights concerns that these individuals have been charged with baseless crimes like money laundering and organized crime, lack adequate legal representation, and that U.S. citizens affiliated with the organization may be targeted. The resolution contextualizes these actions within a pattern of the Nicaraguan Government suppressing free speech and religious rights, noting that Nicaragua was designated a "Country of Particular Concern" in 2022 for severe religious freedom violations. Ultimately, the resolution calls on the Nicaraguan Government to immediately address these human rights and religious freedom violations.
