Nicaraguan President Unwelcome at Salvadoran Summit, Women Activists Say
Note: October 9, 2008, San Salvador, El Salvador: Advocates for women's rights in El Salvador are calling on their government to bar the President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, from attending an upcoming presidential summit because of his attempts to repress and intimidate women in his country. In an Oct. 5 press conference, advocates from CEMUJER, a leading Salvadoran women's group, joined other human rights groups in expressing solidarity with Nicaraguan women. They urged Salvadoran President Antonio Saca to tell Mr Ortega he is unwelcome at the XVII Presidential Summit, a meeting of Central American leaders that starts Oct. 29. Mr Ortega is accused of threatening women leaders, and of sexually abusing his stepdaughter during the 1980s.
