This already abysmal record only shows signs of getting worse as the Sandinistas continue to consolidate their rule. Miskito Indians continue to be persecuted. Thousands of refugees continue to leave Nicaragua for neighboring countries. with many attempting to come here to the United States. The Sandinistas have conducted a campaign of persecution against the small Jewish community In the country. The solemn commitment of the United States and the Organization of American States to protect human rights in Nicaragua will certainly ring hollow to Nicaraguans who are suffering from torture in Sandinista prisons. to Nicaraguans who find themselves unable express their political views freely. to Nicaraguans who feel compelled to flee their country of birth In fear. and to Nicaraguans who find themselves unable to worship as they wish. if we do not make the maximum effort to fulfill our commitments of 1979.
