The United Nations has warned that a new electoral law may affect the impartiality of November's parliamentary and presidential elections.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega is seeking a fourth consecutive term in November but critics say he has sought to discredit and arrest his political rivals.
A little over a week ago, the government announced a money-laundering probe into opposition candidate Cristiana Chamorro.
It has also harassed journalists.
