MANAGUA, NICARAGUA -- A judge in Nicaragua has convicted former presidential hopeful Miguel Mora of "conspiracy to undermine national integrity" after a trial lasting a few hours.
Mora is one of about 46 political detainees rounded up last year by Nicaragua's government, allowing Ortega to run almost unopposed. She later split with Ortega and became a leader of the opposition Sandinista Renovation Movement. The former leader of that movement, Ana Margarita Vijil, was found guilty of the same charge in a similar trial Wednesday.
Nunez spoke Monday, after prosecutors announced they were starting trials for 46 political figures arrested between May and June.
