The government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega arrested four opposition leaders Sunday in what appears to be widespread detentions of anyone who might challenge his rule. The moves over the weekend suggest Ortega has moved beyond arresting potential opposition candidates in the Nov. 7 elections, and has begun arresting any prominent member of the opposition. Ortega, pictured here in 2018, has already arrested four potential opposition candidates who might have challenged his bid for a fourth consecutive term. Sebastian Chamorro, a former director of the opposition coalition Civic Alliance, is seen in Managua on June 25. Chamorro was among four opposition leaders arrested in the past month.
