In this event, three women, central to Nicaraguan political life, will speak to the Michigan community about their country. They will speak about the Nicaraguan political context and their experiences fighting for human rights, freedom and democracy, as well as their current status as exiled, stripped of their citizenship after being imprisoned in solitary confinement for 20 months under the current dictatorship of Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega.
