Today he has Monsignor Álvarez under kidnapping in the Modelo prison. He will pay for his crimes », denounced the also clinical psychologist.
Martinez told Article 66 that Alaniz was the one who received the political prisoners who were taken to the men’s prison, “and he was the one who threatened us that if we were screwing around he would take away our food, our water; And that we should not even think of going on a hunger strike because he would take away our family visits and send us to the 300, “said the former political hostage.

“Nothing is done without Alaniz’s orders”
For his part, one of the former political prisoners exiled to the United States on February 9, said on condition of anonymity that Venancio Alaniz “is the executioner not only of political prisoners but also of common criminals.”
“He is rarely seen in the corridors of La Modelo or 300, but nothing is done without the order of Venancio Alaniz and he pretends to help the prisoners, but from behind he sends his subordinates to do the opposite, the strange thing is that He has been in the same position for many years, since he is the official who mistreats the prisoner the most, whether political or common, “explained the source.
He also refers that this public servant is the one who has promoted the fastest in “La Modelo”. «Venancio was the one who ordered that the political prisoner Cristian —Meneses—, known as the “chino one” had a tooth broken in one of those beatings, the first day I arrived at 300 they beat me to a faint, also with an order of Roberto Guevara – head of the prison -».

“I am sure that there was some kind of coercion and threats that if the monsignor said something about what he is experiencing in prison, it would have a consequence,” said the expert.
He warned that it should be remembered that the prelate has not seen his relatives for more than 40 days. “He must be happy, but at the same time painful for the time that he could not share with his brothers, and what the prisoners long for is to share with the family.”
“It should be noted that Venancio Alaniz entered the visit and left with Monsignor -Álvarez-” (…) and in the gestures of the religious he indicates that he would like to say more, but there is a bit of nerve and care about what he is going to say”, Martinez indicated.
Other opponents consulted indicated that Monsignor Álvarez may be a victim of the high command of the prison, but they assured that when there is democracy in the country, the servants of the Nicaraguan regime will render accounts to justice.
