Alegaciones sobre la situación en la reserva Bosawás en la Costa Atlántica de
Nicaragua. Según la información recibida, la reserva Bosawás está habitada por varias
comunidades indígenas mayagna y miskito, quienes recibieron el reconocimiento legal
sobre sus tierras tradicionales dentro de la reserva en 2007. Desde este entonces, el
asentamiento ilegal de personas no-indígenas, o colonos, dentro de la reserva ha
aumentado dramáticamente. Por varios años, las comunidades indígenas que habitan la
reserva Bosawás vienen exigiendo al Gobierno a que se realice la etapa de
“saneamiento” de sus tierras. Sin embargo, hasta semanas recientes, el Gobierno no ha
avanzado en este proceso. Las comunidades indígenas han amenazado desalojar a los
colonos por cuenta propia a la luz de la inacción por parte del Estado. En semanas
recientes, tensiones entre los colonos y los indígenas que habitan la reserva han
intensificado, resultando en la muerte de un individuo indígena.

hospital. It is also reported that on 2 October 2012, a group of armed men in civilian
