The daughter of sports writer and political prisoner Miguel Mendoza, Alejandra, continues to demand that the Ortega-Murillo regime allow her to see her father after more than 500 days without any communication. This time, the eight-year-old girl regrets that Mendoza has not been able to accompany her at the end of the school year that ended as academic excellence.
“Hello Daddy! Today I got first place, I am very happy and at the same time very sad because you were not with me, I wish I could give you a hug and a kiss. I miss you a lot! My heart can’t be happy without you! I love you daddy, I need to see you!” Expresses the message sent by Alejandra Mendoza to her father.

«Again, Alejandra finished her school year with academic excellence and without the presence of her father, who has been her inspiration. Her expression when she found out that she had won first place: “I wish with all my heart that my daddy was with me” », her relatives expressed on social networks.
The sports journalist had started a hunger strike with the aim of seeing his daughter, but it was suspended because of the promise that he would allow him to have communication with Alejandra. After the family visit on November 19, Miguel Mendoza told his relatives that the idea that they would authorize him to see his daughter was a “deception” because the visit has not materialized. «He is sad, hopeful to see Alejandra. That situation of not being able to see his family eats at him, “said Cristopher Mendoza, nephew of the journalist imprisoned on June 21, 2021.
The journalist and critic of the Ortega y Murillo regime was imprisoned in the middle of a hunt for union leaders. He was convicted of the crimes of conspiracy to undermine the national integrity and propagation of false news, through repressive laws directed against opponents. The Ortega y Murillo court sentenced him to nine years in prison.
According to reports from her relatives, the minor has presented “anxiety attacks due to this forced separation. We demand that they allow her to see it, she is a girl and she has rights,” Mendoza’s family demanded on the journalist’s social accounts.
During his imprisonment, Miguel Mendoza has lost more than 30 pounds of weight and when he was presented in the courts of Managua he was noticeably thin. His relatives have denounced that he suffers from several diseases that are not treated by a specialist doctor, a situation that is repeated with all the detainees in the cells of the Nicaraguan dictatorship.
