Ortega-Murillo Regime Decrees “Professional Death” of Lawyers Through Silent Purge

The co-presidential dictatorship has unleashed a silent crackdown on the legal profession in Nicaragua. Without notice, without a decree in the official gazette La Gaceta, and without any due process, it has removed lawyers from the Supreme Court’s registry and revoked their licenses to practice law. DIVERGENTES confirmed cases involving opposition figures in exile, lawyers practicing within the country with no political affiliation, and even former judicial advisors who were once aligned with Sandinismo. According to sources in the courts, this purge was ordered by Rosario Murillo and is being carried out jointly by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Judiciary itself.
