Nicaragua sentences Catholic priests to 10 years for conspiracy after closed-door trials
Fox News
Four Roman Catholic priests in Nicaragua have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for what human rights groups contend is part of the government's crackdown on protesters.
The priests had worked with Matagalpa Bishop Rolando Álvarez, and one had been rector of the privately-run Juan Pablo II University in the capital of Managua. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Álvarez is under house arrest on charges of conspiracy and "damaging the Nicaraguan government and society," and is set to be sentenced soon.
