SOS Nicaragua, Berta Valle

In the past year, Daniel Ortega’s regime in Nicaragua has dramatically ramped up its persecution of civil society, arresting presidential candidates in the run up to the November 2021 elections in an attempt to solidify his one-party rule. Recorded at the 2021 Oslo Freedom Forum, Berta Valle, a Nicaraguan journalist and vocal critic of the regime, tells the story of how her husband, former #OFF speaker and Nicaraguan civil society leader Felix Maradiaga, and many others have paid a high price for standing up for truth and freedom in her country.
