Relatives of political prisoners in Nicaragua voiced their concerns about the treatment of their loved ones inside one of the harshest prisons on Earth.
The Ortega-Murillo regime in Nicaragua exhibited prisoners of conscience in “informative hearings” at the Managua Judicial Complex between August 30 and September 1. The regime-run media broadcast the proceedings, branding the prisoners as “terrorists, coup plotters, and homeland traitors,” pointing out that most of them supported in one way or another the massive social protests of 2018. With these appearances, the relatives of the inmates were able to witness the deteriorated physical state of their loved ones.
