About this hearing:<\/p>\n

In recent years,\u00a0Nicaragua has loosened socio-environmental safeguards and reduced citizen participation<\/strong>\u00a0in mining concessions. Whereas the mining companies and the government benefit from this trend, it generates serious negative impacts on the life, health, and other fundamental rights of communities whose lands are continuously taken away.\u00a0This context is exacerbated by repressive measures implemented by\u00a0the current government\u00a0<\/strong>against those who denounce human rights violations and call for the restoration of the democratic institutions. During the hearing, the petitioners will present information on the main patterns of\u00a0rights violated and the criminalization of human rights defenders<\/strong>\u00a0relating to extractive industries in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
