🇳🇮🚩⚖️⛓✝️ — Ortega's opposition priest sentenced to 10 years in prison for 'fake news' and 'attack on national integrity' 🧵⬇️ #Dictadura 
Nicaraguan priest Óscar Danilo Benavidez Dávila, a critic of the Daniel Ortega regime, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime of forming a conspiracy and spreading false news to the detriment of the State of Nicaragua and society.
Benavidez is one of ten priests accused in Nicaragua, including Bishop Rolando José Álvarez Lagos, kidnapped by police agents on August 19, along with four other priests, already convicted, from the episcopal palace of the diocese of Matagalpa after 15 years of confinement.
The dictator Ortega described as “terrorists” the Nicaraguan bishops who acted as mediators of a national dialogue with which a peaceful solution to the crisis that the country has been experiencing since April 2018 is sought.
