Nicaragua's Marxist regime has intensified its persecution of Catholics, with the arrest of multiple bishops and priests. Two senior Catholic priests, Carlos Aviles and Hector Treminio, were detained for publicly praying for jailed Bishop Rolando. The number of clergymen detained this week has reached at least eight, according to sources close to the church and opposition. The Pope has denounced the crackdown on the Church in Nicaragua, while international condemnation of the Communist regime's actions continues.
