Endnu et venstrefløjsikon mister glorien

Hvis man prøver at huske tilbage til 80erne vil man erindre at der vist var noget med nogle lyserøde frihedskæmpere i Nacaragua, der under Daniel Ortega kæmpede mod onde narkokapitalistimperialistlakajer støttet af Reagan.

Hvad man ikke fik at vide dengang var at "frihedskæmperne" også bla stod bag etnisk udrensning af den indianske urbefolkning:

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has reinstituted an old complaint regarding crimes against humanity against former Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and other Sandinista leaders, a legislative source said here Monday.

Legislator Miguel Lopez Baldizon, of the Azul y Blanco congressional caucus, told EFE that the IACHR in Nicaragua brought out from its archives a complaint against Ortega concerning alleged crimes against humanity committed in 1983.

The "Red Christmas" complaint refers to supposed crimes committed during the Sandinista army operation to remove some 8,500 Indians from their communities on the banks of the Coco River, along the border with Honduras, and relocate them in five camps to prevent them from giving logistical support to the Contra insurgents.Indigenous groups have complained that hundreds of their people died during the operation.

Store dele af venstrefløjen har lig i lasten. MANGE lig.
