The 45 people requesting the provisional measures already have precautionary measures from the IACHR, but the Ortega Murillo regime still keeps them imprisoned in the following penitentiary centers: Jorge Navarro Penitentiary Complex or “Cárcel La Modelo”, Judicial Aid Complex “Evaristo Vásquez ” or Nuevo Chipote or “El Chipote”, Comprehensive Women’s Penitentiary Establishment (EPIM) “La Esperanza”, Granada National Penitentiary Service (SPN), Matagalpa National Penitentiary System (SPN) or Waswalí SPN, Chinandega National Penitentiary System (SPN) , Jinotepe National Penitentiary System (SPN) and Cuisalá Penitentiary Center.
“People do not have the minimum guarantees, typical of any judicial process, in a context in which the escalation of the crisis in Nicaragua continues. The State continues without providing concrete, detailed and up-to-date information on its current situation, despite the requests for information made and repeated within the framework of the validity of the precautionary measures, and it is observed that the risk situation has worsened with the passage of time. of time,” says the IACHR.
“The current conditions of detention, as well as the multiple, circumstantial and consistent complaints about human rights violations in their cases suggest that, within the framework of the context already accredited before the Inter-American Court, said deprivation of liberty is closely related to an intention aimed at silencing these people through retaliation,” he adds.
The Mechanism for the Recognition of Political Prisoners registers a total of 205 people deprived of their liberty in the context of the social protests that began in April 2018 and who are unjustly detained for denouncing the violations of the human rights of Nicaraguans by the dictatorship Ortega.
