(CNN) A sixth Nicaraguan presidential candidate was detained along with student leaders and activists late Monday, in what the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights called a "night of terror." Those latest detained include presidential candidate Medardo Mairena Sequeira and farming and labor leaders Freddy Navas Lopez, Pablo Morales and Pedro Joaquin Mena Amador. Nicaraguan presidential candidate Medardo Mairena Sequeira is the sixth detained ahead of November elections. Nicaraguan presidential challenger Cristiana Chamorro was placed under house arrest in early June. Mairena is the sixth presidential candidate to be detained in recent months.
