<p>The Government of Nicaragua ordered the EU Ambassador to leave Nicaragua on 28
September which the EU underlined was "unwarranted". The Nicaraguan government
also broke off diplomatic relations with the Netherlands on 30 September. The ongoing
deterioration of political and human rights in Nicaragua is a very serious matter,
and we regularly underline our concerns directly with the Nicaraguan government and
in multilateral fora. Under the Nicaragua Sanctions regime, we have imposed travel
bans and asset freezes on several senior regime figures, including the Vice President,
two Directors General of the National Police and the President of the National Assembly.
We continue to consider how, with partners, we maintain pressure on the regime and
urge it to comply with international human rights law and respect human rights.</p>
