flag Nicaragua freed dozens of prisoners, including political detainees, under U.S. pressure, but over 60 remain detained.

flag Nicaragua has released dozens of prisoners, including known political detainees like former mayor Oscar Gadea and pastor Rudy Palacios, amid U.S. pressure to free over 60 individuals still held, many of whom were detained for criticizing the government or supporting 2018 protests. flag The move follows similar releases in Venezuela after President Nicolás Maduro’s arrest on U.S. drug trafficking charges. flag While the Nicaraguan government did not confirm the number released or their conditions, human rights groups and opposition leaders say the action likely stems from international pressure. flag The U.S. embassy urged further releases, stressing that more than 60 people remain unjustly detained, including vulnerable individuals.
