Statement by the Executive Committee of the International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies against the seizure of the University of Central America in Nicaragua

Declaration of the International Human Rights Network - August 23, 2023

The International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies (IHRN) is an alliance of more than 90 national honorary scientific societies that defends the fundamental rights of academics and researchers worldwide and supports scholarly institutions under threat. We, the members of the IHRN’s Executive Committee, condemn the Nicaraguan government’s recent seizure of the University of Central America (UCA) as an egregious assault on academic freedom in the country.
