Exiled and stripped of citizenship, Nicaraguans look to Canada for chance to begin new lives

Manuel de Jesús Sobalvarro Bravo

Political dissident Manuel de Jesús Sobalvarro Bravo recalled the early morning that Nicaraguan National Police took him to the courtyard of the Managua jailhouse known as El Chipote, put a hood over his head and pressed the barrel of a pistol to his temple. He and others like him, exiled to the U.S. by what they say is a government hostile to dissent, want Canada to open its doors to grant Nicaraguans permanent resident status.
