GLA ANUNCIA COLABORACIÓN CON MOVIMIENTO CAMPESINO DE NICARAGUA

3/24/2020

 
Picture
​La Alianza por la Libertad Global (GLA) y el Movimiento Campesino de Nicaragua, liderado por Medardo Mairena Sequeira, anunciamos una colaboración. Juntos, estamos comprometidos con:
  • fomentar el respeto a la dignidad humana,
  • reivindicar los derechos de todo nicaragüense que sufra la opresión del régimen de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo
  • y luchar contra la persecución política y la corrupción.

La Alianza por la Libertad Global se dedica a defender los derechos fundamentales del individuo, a la libre empresa y al imperio de la ley. En diciembre de 2018, la Ley NICA Act, la cual sanciona a los infractores de estos derechos en el régimen Ortega-Murillo, entró en vigor después de la aprobación por unanimidad del Congreso Estadounidense, en parte, gracias a los esfuerzos educativos de la GLA.

El Movimiento Campesino de Nicaragua, organizado desde 2014, defiende los derechos de los campesinos contra el régimen autoritario de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo. Para más información sobre el Movimiento, Ud. puede consultar su página Facebook.

GLA and the Farmers’ Movement of Nicaragua, led by Medardo Mairena Sequeira, announce our collaboration. Together, we are dedicated to furthering respect for human dignity, defending the rights of all Nicaraguans suffering oppression under Daniel Ortega’s regime, and fighting political persecution and corruption.

The Global Liberty Alliance is committed to fundamental individual rights, free enterprise, and the rule of law. In December 2018, the NICA Act sanctioning violators of those rights in the Ortega regime was passed by President Trump after unanimous Congressional approval, in part thanks to GLA education efforts about the law and its importance to combating corruption in Nicaragua.

The Farmers’ Movement of Nicaragua (Movimiento Campesino de Nicaragua) has been organized since 2014 to defend the rights of farmers against the authoritarian regime of Daniel Ortega. For more information about the Movimiento Campesino de Nicaragua, see their Facebook page.

On March 10, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) named Cuba as a Tier 2 violator of religious freedoms in its 2019 Annual Report. This Report enumerates regular serious violations of freedom of conscience on the island, spearheaded by its Office of Religious Affairs and State Security. GLA joins its voice to the USCIRF’s recommendations of sanctions so that for the U.S. government protect freedom of worship in Cuba: 1) deny visas to religious freedom abusers, especially Religious Affairs Head, Caridad Diego; 2) facilitate the U.S. visa application process for Cuban religious leaders, whether they are officially recognized or not; 3) encourage other countries to bring up Cuba’s freedom of worship violations in every discussion with or about Cuba.
