MANAGUA - Human rights advocates on Friday urged Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega to free 566 people still in custody that the opposition considers political prisoners following an initial release of detainees from a simmering political crisis.
More than 320 people have died as pro-government forces cracked down on protests which erupted in April after an attempt to overhaul the pensions system. The resistance quickly swelled into a broad-based movement against Ortega’s rule. Agreement has yet to be reached after two days of talks behind closed doors on the outskirts of Managua. The government has not accepted the mediation of the Organization of American States nor of the United Nations, rights advocates said.
“The state’s afraid. It’s afraid of freeing leaders or the farmers who are detained,” said Braulio Abarca, of Nicaragua Nunca Mas, a group of rights activists based in exile.
