(MENAFN) At least one student has died during an attack on a church where dozens of protesters had sought shelter after more violence erupted in Nicaragua.
The students, who had been participating in protests on a day of a national strike, came under attack from paramilitaries and became trapped in the church on Friday evening.
Over 300 people have died during months of anti-government protests, with demands of the resignation of President Daniel Ortega.
After the latest clashes, a group of about 150 students were holed up in a church building close to the main university in the capital, Managua, along with priests and journalists.
