“Nicaragua’s left-wing [sic] government has announced the release of dozens of prisoners following pressure from United States President Donald Trump’s administration. The government of President Daniel Ortega said in a statement on Saturday that ‘tens of people who were in the national penitentiary system have gone home to their families.’ … While the government described the move as a gesture to commemorate 19 years of Ortega’s government, Nicaragua is under considerable pressure from the US over its human rights record and a years-long crackdown on opposition leaders and activists.” (01/10/26)
