Outspoken Nicaraguan opposition figure Roberto Samcam shot to death at his home in Costa Rica

Samcam, who was a vocal critic of President Daniel Ortega, had been living in exile since 2018, when paramilitaries assaulted his home in Nicaragua. Ortega and his wife and co-President Rosario Murillo have driven hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguans into exile, imprisoning and then stripping hundreds more of their citizenship.
