Nicaraguan police, protesters clash in Managua
Nicaraguan police on Thursday allegedly used violence against a group of demonstrators who were asking the government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to release their family members from prison.
The incident occurred outside a hotel in Managua where a seminar organized by different opposition groups had been held earlier.
Families and opposition groups asked were protesting for the freedom of around 160 detainees they say are political prisoners.
Several journalists were also attacked by the Nicaraguan police while covering the protest.
Nicaragua has been gripped by a political crisis since demonstrations broke out against the Ortega government in April 2018 over planned cuts to welfare benefits.
