The violent protests in the central-American nation of Nicaragua have no sign of abating as 21 more people were killed and some 200 were wounded yesterday when mothers of the slain students took to the streets.
However, Nicaraguan police and the ‘sandinista mobs’ of President Ortega were relentless and according to human rights groups, a further 15 people died during the protests itself and 6 in hospital later.

Most of those killed were students.
Protesters are demanding that Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, who serves as vice president, both step down and allow the government to organize fair and free elections, but Mr. Ortega refuses, saying: "Nicaragua belongs to all of us, and here we are all going to stay."
