"Bishop [of Matagalpa, Rolando José] Álvarez [Lagos] claimed that the [Ortega] regime wants a “dumb church,” adding that the move against Canal Católico proves that Nicaragua is in a situation of dictatorship. He also urged Catholics to pray for the police officers, who follow orders and are themselves victims of the regime."
