Already 25 dead by protests Nicaragua

managua - In case of protests against the adjustment of the social system in Nicaragua, according to the human rights organization Cenidh, at least 25 deaths have already occurred. The authorities speak of eleven deaths.

One of the victims is the journalist Ángel Eduardo Gahona. He got a bullet through his head when he made recordings of protests in the Caribbean city of Bluefields on Saturday. The Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa reported that he was shot by the police.

The disturbances broke out on Wednesday. Pensioners took to the streets because the government wants to stave off pensions and increase employees' contributions to social security. More and more Nicaraguans, including thousands of students, joined the protests in recent days.

Ortega has announced this weekend that he can talk to him about adjusting the plan for reducing pensions.
