Ortega's troubles

It seems that an Independent Commission on human rights in Nicaragua filed suits against Sandanista supporter and presidential candidate Daniel Ortega claiming that he was responsible for human rights violations during the Somoza overthrow in 1979. The group has claimed that Ortega, in negotiating with English speaking coastal Indians, murdered, tortured, or kidnapped over 100 people. The group claims that the number affected is probably much higher, however, they only have confirmed reports of these numbers. In the months before an upcoming election, Ortega maintains that this is a political stunt meant to take votes away from him and his party. I think it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out and if further investigations can be done before elections take place.
