Through a statement, the Union of Nicaraguan Political Prisoners and Prisoners (UPPN) affirm that the end of Daniel Ortega’s dictatorship will only be achieved with the overwhelming support of all international human rights organizations and democratic countries in the world.
The former political prisoners point out that there is not even a show of will by the Ortega-Murillo regime to get out of the crisis that Nicaragua has been experiencing since 2018, rather “it continues to criminalize the exercise of human rights and perpetuate impunity, which will never be the way forward.” peace”.

They emphasize that “-without justice there will be no peace in Nicaragua and the cycles of violence that have not allowed true prosperity for our country will continue to be repeated.”
They join the demand for freedom
Regarding the demand of the relatives of political prisoners who advocate the immediate release of captive opponents, UPPN assures that “it accompanies the suffering and cry for freedom of all political prisoners of the cruel dictatorship that exists in Nicaragua.”
