Julio Sandino and his brother expressed being impressed by the physical condition that the hostage of the dictatorship presents in more than a year of confinement. “We were able to see our mother for the first time in the published photographs and, indeed, she shows us what our brother has been telling us, our mother is physically impaired,” they indicated in a video.
“She is a woman over 70 years old, physically beaten by the poor conditions in which she finds herself, by sleeping on a concrete bed, by poor nutrition, by isolation and for more than eight months where her teeth have not been treated by a professional,” they denounced.
