Nicaragua frees 135 political prisoners, repatriated to Guatemala through U.S. mediation
Nicaragua released 135 political prisoners for humanitarian reasons, who were received by Guatemala on Thursday, thanks to U.S. mediation, which will allow them to travel to that country or others.
At La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City, the former detainees celebrated their freedom. “Thank God for being free, long live a free Nicaragua,” declared Francisco Arteaga to reporters, raising his fist in the air.
Arteaga had been detained for posting “on social media the actions” of President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, against the Catholic Church, he told reporters from the window of a bus taking him to a reception center. According to the Guatemalan presidency, the group arrived yesterday on “a special flight that landed at 06:20 a.m.” (12:20 GMT).
The White House announced shortly before that it had secured the release of these prisoners, including 13 members of the Texas-based evangelical organization Mountain Gateway, Catholic laypeople, students, and others whom Ortega and Murillo “consider a threat to their authoritarian regime.”
The release was carried out for humanitarian reasons, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement, just two months before the U.S. presidential elections. Eric Jacobstein from the State Department, who was involved in the negotiations, indicated that the Nicaraguan regime did not receive anything in return.
