Nicaragua charges ex-beauty queen running for election
Berenice Quezada has been disqualified from running as vice president in the upcoming vote. She is the eighth candidate to be arrested since May.
Quezada was the running mate of the opposition presidential candidate Oscar Sobalvarro
Nicaraguan prosecutors charged former beauty queen and opposition candidate for the presidential vote Berenice Quezada with inciting terrorism, the attorney general said Wednesday.
The charges against Quezada relate to her participation in the 2018 anti-government protests, which Ortega s regime had deemed a coup attempt.
She was released pending trial.
