Felix Maradiaga

Félix Maradiaga is a Nicaraguan academic and political activist. He is the founding co-director of Civil Society Leadership Institute. In September 2018, he spoke to the UN Security Council about what he characterised as the repression against the people by the government of Daniel Ortega. A warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest, accusing him of "organized crime and financing of terrorism". That same year, Maradiaga was hospitalised by a group of government supporters in León. Maradiaga later fled the country.
