MANAGUA: An attack on a protest by opponents of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega left one person dead and at least five others wounded, police said Sunday (Monday in Manila).The deceased was identified as Max Romero, who died as a result of “crossfire,” the police said in a statement that attributed his death to the protesters. Months of turmoil in the Central American country have left more than 320 people dead, according to rights groups, but the unrest had declined in recent weeks before resurfacing at Sunday’s march, which called for the release of political prisoners. The march, “We are the voice of political prisoners,” was convened by relatives of at least 500 protesters imprisoned for participating in anti-government demonstrations, which began on April 18.
