France ‘expels’ controversial Salafist preacher to Algeria Read more
At least 10 people have died and scores more are injured after anti-government protests broke out in Nicaragua.
At the National Agrarian University in Managua, a student protester lost an eye in clashes after riot police arrived to quell the demonstration.

Protests began Wednesday after a new law was signed increasing tax contributions and cutting pension income in the social security system.

The demonstrations come after years in which the opposition claimed electoral fraud and other malfeasance by the government, but without street protests reaching such magnitude or intensity.
