Poet and priest Ernesto Cardenal, 83, is seen in his home where he is under house arrest in Managua, Friday, Aug. 29, 2008. A judge revoked a 2005 ruling in Cardenal's favor to find him guilty of defamation against German citizen Inmanuel Zerger and ordered Cardenal to pay a fine of US$1,000 or face arrest. Cardenal was the Culture Minister during Nicaragua's Sandinista government. (AP Photo/Esteban Felix)
