The Ortega – Murillo dictatorship has freed 222 political prisoners by deporting them from Nicaragua to the United States. We are relieved to know that among them are members of our sister party, Unamos, including its president Suyen Barahona, recipient of the Progressive Alliance’s Human Rights Award 2022 for outstanding political courage.
However, this release comes at the unacceptable price of being being accused of treason, deprived of their nationality and having their property captured, for them and 94 other people who democratically oppose the dictatorship. This is without forgetting the political prisoners still detained.
In this dossier you will find video statement delivered to Progressive Alliance by Suyen Barahona, President of Unamos, a week after her release following 605 days in prison, declarations of the Progressive Alliance of the Americas, of Unamos and of other members of our alliance.
