UN condemns Nicaragua for 'forced disappearance' of priest

The United Nations high commissioner for human rights condemned the "forced disappearance" of a Catholic bishop in Nicaragua, where it said there has been a wave of arrests of religious figures. Bishop Isidoro Mora was "forcibly disappeared" eight days ago, OHCHR in Central America and the Caribbean posted on social media site X on Thursday.
