On Monday morning, January 7th, police agents illegally broke into the Ticuantepe home of the historic Sandinista activist and human rights defender Dora María Téllez.

The defender reports that some of the agents were masked and that a drone flew over her house, which had been subjected to siege and surveillance for three months.

We of IM-Defensoras condemn this illegal action by the Nicaraguan government and hold it responsible for any attempt on the security and the physical and moral integrity of Dora María Téllez.
