U.S. Nurse-Midwife Comes Out of Hiding in Nicaragua
(WOMENSENEWS) — A 70-year-old U.S. nurse-midwife, in hiding to avoid deportation from Nicaragua, has emerged as the government temporarily suspended efforts to expel her from the country where she ran an embattled rural health clinic. But Dorothy Granada’s legal troubles haven’t ended.
Her legal status remained uncertain and she still could face deportation, as the government promised on Wednesday to pursue charges of engaging in anti-government activities.
"The dogs have not been called off," said one political observer who has followed the situation.
