“The immediate and already effective deportation of 222 people is ordered. Said persons have already been deported from the country for which the respective trades were issued.”, declared the magistrate Octavio Rothschuh, president of Chamber One of the Court of Appeals of Managua, to the Nicaraguan official media.
“The deportees they were declared traitors to the homeland and punished for different serious crimes and permanently disqualified from exercising public office […]as well as holding positions of popular election, leaving their citizen rights suspended in perpetuity”, said the judge.
We welcome the 222 Nicaraguan political prisoners released by the Government of Nicaragua today. We will continue to support improved conditions for the Nicaraguan people.

In addition to deportation, ex-prisoners will also lose their nationality.
“Traitors to the Homeland lose the quality of Nicaraguan national,” says Law 1145 approved by the National Assembly, controlled by supporters of President Daniel Ortega.
“222 political prisoners come to the city of Washington, they were released,” said Arturo McFields, former Ortega ambassador to the OAS, dismissed after describing his country as a dictatorship and now residing in the United States in a video on social networks. (YO)
