MÉRIDA, Mexico -. The independent reporter and political exile Yoel Acosta Gamez and his wife Alissana Lores were prevented from entering Nicaragua where they were travelling from Uruguay.
“Three months ago, from Uruguay, we bought a ticket with Copa Airlines to travel from Uruguay to Nicaragua, then continue to Mexico on a single flight and then arrive in the U.S. But there was a problem. It turns out that yesterday at 6 p.m. we received an email from the Nicaraguan Immigration Service notifying us that we had been denied entry into the country,” Acosta Gámez explained to Cubanet.
Acosta Gámez, who had arrived in Uruguay after leaving in June 2023 for forced exile in Guyana, due to the numerous threats against him by the State Security of the Cuban regime, denounced that “the Nicaraguan regime denied us entry into the country. All this in agreement with the Cuban communist regime.”
“We lost the plane ticket, we lost everything we had acquired, we had sold everything to be able to make this trip and we were left with absolutely nothing. This is a violation of human rights, it is a repression of the Cuban regime,” lamented the collaborator of Cubanet.
A journalist and human rights activist in Baracoa, Acosta Gámez emigrated, initially leaving his wife and children behind, forced by threats of imprisonment and the systematic repression to which he was subjected.
