Passed resolution demanding Nicaragua restore civil liberties

Nicaragua announced Saturday, October 3, that it is leaving the Central American Parliament (Parlacen), the six-country regional body, with immediate effect. The National Assembly unanimously repealed the 1988 decree that had approved the treaty on October 6. The exit followed an OAS resolution on October 2 that demands Nicaragua restore civil liberties and free political prisoners.
