*People’s Health Movement global on the human rights violations in
Nicaragua*

The People’s Health Movement (PHM) condemns the actions of the Nicaraguan
Government in deregistering the Centre for Information and Health Advisory
Services (CISAS) and deporting its director Ana Quirós Víquez, because of
their human rights advocacy. CISAS, established in 1983, at the height of
the CIA-sponsored invasion of Nicaragua, has played an historic role in the
struggle for health, peace and justice in Nicaragua.

PHM, globally, fully supports the demands of PHM Latin America

for the restoration of the citizenship rights of Ana Quirós Víquez.

The PHM expresses its deepest concern regarding the violent repression by
the government of Nicaragua of popular manifestations opposing pension
reforms and human rights abuses.

PHM is a global network of civil society activists working for better
health care, for action on the social determinants of health and for health
equity. PHM has a presence in over 80 countries around the globe, including
most countries in Latin America.

PHM conveys the solidarity of thousands of health activists around the
world to CISAS and to Ana Quirós Víquez and other comrades associated with
CISAS.
