Nicaragua’s Sandinista-controlled congress has expelled nearly 200 non-governmental organisations from the Central American country, including 18 Missionaries of Charity. According to the newspaper El Confidencial, the nuns were taken by the General Directorate of Migration and Immigration and the police from the cities of Managua and Granada, where they had been serving the poor, to the border country of Costa Rica. The dissolution of the NGOs was approved on June 29 by the National Assembly on an urgent basis and without any debate.
