U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement condemning the simultaneous attacks by paramilitary forces against students and other civilians at the Church of Divine Mercy in Managua and residents of Masaya, Nicaragua: ‎

"Last night's deadly attacks on students and journalists by paramilitary forces controlled by the Ortega regime leaves no doubt the path the regime has chosen.
