Al menos otros ocho presos políticos excarcelados sin libertad real en plena presión de Trump sobre el DR-Cafta
El régimen Ortega-Murillo envió a “municipio por cárcel” o “casa por cárcel” a al menos ocho presos políticos, sin explicar las detenciones prolongadas ni las desapariciones forzadas. El Mecanismo para el Reconocimiento de Personas Presas Políticas advierte que no se trata de liberaciones plenas, sino de una maniobra para aliviar la presión internacional ante la inminente decisión de Donald Trump sobre el futuro de Nicaragua en el DR-Cafta
TL;DR
- Eight political prisoners in Nicaragua have been confirmed released to "house arrest" by the Mechanism for the Recognition of Political Prisoners.
- Sources suggest over 20 individuals may have been moved to similar conditions, though the government has not confirmed or provided a list.
- The Mechanism states these releases are not full liberations and are part of a government strategy to manipulate public and international perception.
- This move comes amid concerns about Nicaragua's trade status with the United States, specifically the DR-Cafta agreement.
- The organization highlights that "house arrest" does not grant real freedom and that due process violations persist.
- Prior to these releases, the Mechanism counted 77 political prisoners, 36 of whom were forcibly disappeared.
- Analysts believe the releases are linked to potential US trade sanctions, which could severely impact Nicaragua's economy.
