The Reverend Josephine E. Robertson, a refugee and Matriarch of the Miskitu Nation, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit in California against the Republic of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Rosario Murillo and the Sandinista Party. The 25-page lawsuit was filed on behalf of the 12 tribes of the Miskitu people for damages allegedly caused by the “horrific genocide and unlawful taking of property in violation of international law” by the Nicaraguan colonial authorities between 1850 and the present in the area formerly known as the Mosquito Coast.
According to the complaint, the Republic of Nicaragua is “continuing to exclude plaintiffs and other lawful representatives of the Miskitu people from participation in discussions and negotiations” regarding the subject matter of the lawsuit, allegedly in violation of plaintiffs’ rights under international law.
The named plaintiffs in the lawsuit all say they are descendants of the Miskitu Nation.
