An **Argentine judge** has issued an arrest warrant for Nicaragua's **President Daniel Ortega** due to his alleged **systematic human rights violations**.
The warrant also includes Ortega's wife, **Vice-President Rosario Murillo**, and over a dozen other associates.
Charges against them encompass **murder, torture**, and the **forced transfer of populations** under the principle of **universal jurisdiction**.
Since taking power, Ortega has suppressed opposition, leading to significant restrictions on **NGOs** and the press in Nicaragua.
