尼加拉瓜政府近期大规模撤销了数百甚至数千名律师的执业执照 [1]。这一举措被联合国专家里德·布罗迪(Reed Brody)描述为对法律职业的“清洗”,旨在削弱该国剩余的民主制衡机制 [1]。流亡律师胡安·迭戈·巴伯雷纳(Juan Diego Barberena)证实,包括他在内的至少 25 名同事已被除名 [1]。
尼加拉瓜总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加(Daniel Ortega)和罗萨里奥·穆里略(Rosario Murillo)领导的政府实施了此次执照撤销行动 [1]。受影响群体不仅包含异见人士,还涉及居住在海外的普通国民、非政治领域的律师以及政府的同情者 [1]。这一事件被视为该国自 2018 年以来持续打压异见人士、关闭非政府组织和独立媒体等举措的延续,被指为极权控制手段 [1]。
The Nicaraguan government has revoked the licenses of hundreds or even thousands of attorneys as part of a broader campaign to suppress dissent [1]. United Nations expert Reed Brody described this mass revocation as a "purge" designed to weaken the country's remaining democratic checks and balances [1]. The affected group includes opposition figures, ordinary citizens living abroad, lawyers not involved in politics, and even those sympathetic to the government [1]. Juan Diego Barberena, an attorney currently in exile, confirmed that he and at least 25 of his colleagues have been removed from the bar list [1]. This action represents a continuation of measures taken by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo since 2018 to target dissidents, close non-governmental organizations, and shut down independent media outlets [1].
