MEXICO CITY — Nicaraguan media reported Thursday that a Supreme Court justice has resigned with a scathing open letter to President Daniel Ortega, who faced down anti-government protests last year by unleashing security forces and allied groups against demonstrators. The letter circulating widely on social media was accompanied by a photograph of judge Rafael Solis Cerda’s government-issued ID. Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega arrives to the Supreme Court for the inauguration ceremony of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, Jan. 10, 2019. It also expelled teams from two branches of the Organization of American States that were investigating allegations of human rights violations. Solis’ letter said he considered resigning last year, but had hoped Ortega and Murillo would enter a genuine dialogue with their opponents.
