OFAC Sanctions Nicaraguan Judges

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned three Nicaraguan judicial officials involved in human rights abuses conducted by President Daniel Ortega regime. The designations target Ernesto Leonel Rodriguez Mejia, Nadia Camila Tardencilla Rodriguez and Octavio Ernesto Rothschuh Andino, who preside over courts that affirmed decisions that revoked the citizenship of more than 300 Nicaraguan citizens for opposing the government.
