government demonstrations have turned into the country protests. well look at the continued violence and ask whether human rights are being protected. in the two months since many nicaraguans began calling for president daniel ortega to step down parts of the country have to send it into heavy violence while peace talks have yielded little progress for an end to the crisis protests began in a poor in response to a proposed overhaul of the country's pension system grievances quickly turned to ortega himself as the people q stem of running a corrupt government some anti-government protesters armed with their own homemade weapons have clashed with police and pro or take up paramilitary groups more than two hundred people have been killed since april and despite the government's pledge to stop the violence human rights groups say protesters continue to be killed detained or even disappeared so to help us understand the situation in nicaragua

joining us on the set we have latin america correspondent. he was covering the crisis in the last week for al-jazeera. the castro he is a human rights activist and a journalist in estella coahuila steven sefton he's a writer for to appear consol that's a new side that identifies with the sandinista national liberation front and we also have one sebastian john morrow he's a leader of the main civic alliance looking to negotiate peace with the government we also invited members of the nickel work in government to share their perspectives but they have not responded to us but gentlemen it's good to have you here stephen this idea of trying to get a government response or trying to get an idea of how the government is dealing with this crisis how would you sum it up from your perspective. well right from the start on april twenty first three days after the protests we took a legitimate for the first twenty four rounds they were peaceful as was correctly

quoted in the in the end but after that they were taken over by extremely violent right wing activists who are very well armed and very well prepared but despite the violence of those first three days. president then you will take it on a p twenty schoolfriend national dialogue. which was accepted by the right wing business that was. also involved in protests and then the following day sunday april twenty second president to take a request it's the catholic church hierarchy want to mediate that so right from the start the dialogue has been committed to feast and from april twenty third they instructed the police not to use live grounds and to people very low profile. so i think from my point of view the role of the government from the start.

and unfortunately money. the opposition has been resolutely opposed to taking. enormous. let me share this view this is on live from a non he's also a journalist and she summarizes this is i'm using the translation here from twitter a summary of the current situation in the coag although from june the twenty first to today there are already more dead injured imprisoned and disappeared two hundred twelve killed one thousand three hundred thirty seven wounded five hundred seven plus in prison. so many issues here sebastien stephen says that the government is trying to negotiate in good faith but how do you describe this list and it's not even the latest list of of what's been happening to some of the protesters in iraq are today. oh put a poll i would like to denounce that brutality of the day i dictatorship brutality

and i have seen it with my own eyes peace violence and brutality against innocent civilians is the reason why the popular of price it is not going to stop and this is not. this is a popular all right. arising from any. woman or anything like that and i want to emphasize one thing the killing the extra u.d.c. or killing the started it but april nineteenth it is not true that the that. occur later the extra you the sherry killings started the various first day of the revolt the of the protestant right now as we speak there has been two hundred and eighty five people dead these are being denounced by human rights organizations one of them is precisely the into the american commission on human rights which says that there has brought responsibility of the state of our

state of nick and our what to who have violated fundamental rights including life personally integrity health freedom assembly exploration and access to justice this is a the most important and relevant human rights commission by the organizations already and states and how. to i know very strong report blaming the state of me going to what i asked responsible for all these killings so the in addition to that i missed the international issue a report that says in the title here should the keel showing out evidence of the ex or unies yari killings committed by the naked eye one police force and. dogs are by the govt there is ample. human rights

violations so in other words we are this woman living. next door deny or circumstances over humanitarian crisis i want to bash and i want to follow up and there was extraordinary circumstances of the the list really that you detailed with a couple of experiences from our community about what they are seeing this is one person on twitter who says we still don't know how many are detained or just missing or if they're still alive the numbers grow every day we have two hundred twelve plus dead including little kids and just this weekend they shot a fifteen month old in the head as a sniper and it was caught on camera and we got a video comment from someone who mentions that same incident and how it struck her this is deny she's a journalist and when i go on this is what she told the stream. that i think the most is about. who would. he was working with his parents mistreating when they happened they were a type mentors for police in the b.b.

di i think every week no one wants to see justice not only for disturbed but more than two hundred that's that have occurred these two months. so many that the incident that she mentions i pulled up on my screen here this is from al jazeera nicaraguan rest baby among five killed in fresh protests that's from june twenty fourth it doesn't seem to gel with what we heard earlier from stephen who mentioned that the police were told to keep a low profile i know you just returned from nicaragua but what can you make sense of those two things for us so i made two trips within the last couple of months and a good one to visiting messiah which were a lot of the most brutal fighting has been concentrated between anti-government demonstrators and the government and also most of my time spent in when i was the incident that you were learning about right now is not that different than another one that we heard about a week and a half ago where a house with a family of six was set on fire and two children of the age of two were killed

inside that house the government has repeatedly denied any responsibility in both that incident as well as in the ongoing conflict saying that they're not using lie browne's that they're not to do you know participating in these claims of human rights abuse but the evidence compiled by human rights observers both from amnesty international from the inner american human rights commission which prepared preliminary reports of the organization of american states just last week and all point to something completely different which is an ongoing systematic repression against peaceful demonstrators and one of the conditions set by the catholic church the catholic church is very influential in that get out what the they have been hosting this ongoing national dialogue that for better or for wishes is the only thing that's truly mediating this conflict the main condition of the catholic church for this dialogue to continue has been for the government of president or to go to stop the heavy handed to use the light term approach to anti-government

demonstrators something that the government has failed to do which is why we've seen a continuation of the violence which is why we see very little progress being made in way of these peace talks. stephen when one sebastian was showing the shoot to kill you said something i didn't quite hear what it was can you repeat it what did you want to say. you know and what i want to say is that. it's true that there are plenty of human rights organizations making these denunciations none of those cases have been investigated and the internet the internet or can commission for human rights. based on information that they just accepted. from human rights organizations in my career with the long track record over a couple. being sent to government. and the lot of a lot of the cases are as you are reports of pointed out many points down disputed by the government but something many said that was very interesting was he talked

about peaceful protest now i have a question from that manny could you please explain how the. result of peaceful protests ten police officers. and over two hundred injured don't you think a little strange it doesn't rattle him on allegedly answer that question i'm not saying that there are not elements of criminal organizations that have infiltrated the peaceful protests but overwhelmingly from my experience from my observation the people that are on the ground there are armed with slingshots are armed with rocks and they are or if you want to say that rocks are weapons sure they are armed and they're armed with homemade mortars which may be a less than lethal weapon i think that at the very best they are there are fireworks launchers. and these people are up against automatic weapons live rounds and snipers on mother's day on may thirtieth we were on the ground during one of the largest demonstrations that you could i would had seen up until that point half

a million people marching on the streets of managua at the very end of that march i actually don't remember how many were killed somewhere around a dozen people were killed when snipers opened fired on it grew out of civilians i want to point to the initial comment by you even. need. to talk about the will. you know all this it is regretful that he the new ground almond for years has labeled everybody who disagrees with and as extreme right wing. as part of an extreme wrangling conspiracy if you are on the streets to talk to people and see who's out there on the barricades in the universities who is protesting we're talking about people who are workers who are students who are. you know people generally. concerned about what is happening in the country and this is been part of a pattern over the over the years that this government been in power you know

disqualify.
