I recently received several news releases from the Nicaraguan Embassy lauding the Sandinista regime for Its efforts to build a free society. while condemning the United States for a lack or concern for human lives in Nicaragua. Its no surprise the Sandinistas want us to ignore the truth and succumb to these outright distortions. Lets look at the record: More than a quarter of a million Nicaraguans fled their homeland as they saw it being transformed into a Marxist dictatorship. Doctors have reported evidence of Sandinista torture. Pastors have had to have their sermons approved by commandants before delivering them. Churches have been burned. Onefourth of the Nicaraguan coasts 165.000 Indians are in relocation and refugee camps. One half of the Miskito and Sumo Indian villages have been destroyed. The only remaining nonGovernment newspaper.
