An Argentine judge has issued an arrest warrant for Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, for alleged human rights violations, including murder, forced disappearances, and torture. The warrant, based on universal jurisdiction, also targets other officials linked to Ortega's regime.
