“The lawyers that make up Criminal Chamber One are Octavio Ernesto Rothschuh Andino, president of Criminal Chamber One of the Managua Court of Appeals, Angela Dávila Navarrete and Rosa Argentina Solís Dávila,” the organization of Nicaraguan lawyers continued.
The regime has also ratified convictions against Miguel Mora, Miguel Mendoza, Víctor Hugo Tinoco and Ana Margarita Vijil, after the defense of the conscientious hostages appealed. The opponents were accused of violating Law 1055 for allegedly committing “undermining national integrity to the detriment of the State of Nicaragua and Nicaraguan society.”
The Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (Cenidh) denounced that “the farce and judicial persecution continues, now in the courts of appeals, the appeals have been declared inadmissible, confirming the unfair convictions against Miguel Mora, Miguel Mendoza, Ana Margarita Vijil and Victor Hugo Tinoco».
“Cenidh warns that this is the next repressive scenario of the Ortega-Murillo regime, declaring the appeals inadmissible and confirming the spurious sentences previously issued, the urgency of appealing for cassation is imposed,” the rights defense organization continued adding.
His relatives have denounced that within the systems there is a “lack of timely and specialized medical care, unhealthy and precarious conditions in cells, consolidation of a policy of mistreatment, punishment and control, permanent isolation and solitary confinement for long periods of time,” for which they maintain that the regime implements torture and ill-treatment aimed at “wearing down, exterminating or disabling our relatives.”
