27 April 2026 at 10:21
On February 9, 2023, the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship released 222 political prisoners who had been subjected to torture and solitary confinement for several years at El Chipote and La Modelo prisons in Nicaragua, and sent them into exile in the United States. Among them there were the seven opposition presidential candidates, imprisoned five months before the November 2021 elections, and dozens of activists and civic leaders who supported the April 2018 uprising and participated in the national dialogue with the government, which was crushed by state repression and the police state.
