On December 7, journalist Miguel Mora received a “special visit” at the Judicial Assistance Directorate in Managua from his wife, children, grandchildren, and mother. For the second time, the political prisoner was able to see and share “Miguelito” with his son.
«When we arrived at the auditorium, Miguel was already waiting for us at the table. The boy was desperate to see his dad. And when he looked at him he said: “Father, I had not seen you. Father, is that you? He hadn’t seen you. He prayed for his father and put his hand on her head “God, take care of my dad. Amen,” said Verónica Chávez, wife of Miguel Mora, in an interview with 100% Noticias.

Chávez affirms that Miguelito had a long conversation with his father, sat next to him and shared food. When Mora asked him what he was learning “Miguelito told him that the vowels, the numbers, the syllables, the colors.”
In addition, he took the opportunity to “complain” to his father about his mother, “and I, what a barbaric Miguelito, that’s the only reason you came to complain, and the boy laughed,” Chávez said. Jokingly, the journalist told his son that “the one in charge in the house is Miguelito Mora and no one else.”
Mora Barberena has been imprisoned in the Judicial Assistance Directorate (DAJ) in Managua, known as “El Nuevo Chipote”, since June 20, 2021, within the framework of the Nicaraguan presidential elections. The candidate for the Presidency was sentenced by the second judge of the Managua Criminal Trial District, Nadia Camila Tardencilla, to 13 years in prison, allegedly for conspiring “to undermine national integrity.”
The journalist was subjected to attacks, cyber harassment by supporters of the regime, and the equipment, frequency, and facilities of the 100% Noticias Channel were confiscated. Since the end of 2018, he was imprisoned for the first time for six months in the Jorge Navarro National Penitentiary System, in Tipitapa, and was released on June 11, 2019, under the controversial Amnesty Law.
Throughout these months of solitary confinement between the political prisoners and their sons and daughters, the relatives described this action by the Nicaraguan regime as “psychological torture” and a violation of their human rights.
During this family visit they were able to share with their relatives and minor children, a constant demand from their relatives and human rights organizations that have asked the regime to allow children to have communication with their parents. Some of the opponents have gone on hunger strike as a form of pressure to allow them to see the little ones.
