With these releases “families will celebrate a new opportunity to live well, to live correctly, to live better,” he added.
The dictatorship keeps 46 people in its prisons, whom it has imprisoned for the simple fact of expressing opinions against the Sandinista government. With these prisoners, the Sandinistas show neither compassion nor “Christianity.”
The new family coexistence will be awarded from Sunday May 28on the eve of Nicaraguan Mother’s Day, as is the custom of the dictatorship, Murillo said.
The release of common prisoners before serving their sentences has been criticized by feminist organizations, arguing that behind these benefits there is an increase in femicides and crime in general in Nicaragua.
A defender of the organization Católicas por el Derecho a Decidir denounced the team of Article 66that “every day there is more impunity” in the country, in reference to the men that the Ortega regime has released “without serving sentences, giving them pardons.”
The data on femicides in the country are “strong” because “the system is ordering women to be killed by not having a commitment to protect the lives of women and that the family does not have justice,” he said.
Between 2014 and 2022, the Nicaraguan government released 38,540 prisoners from prison, for an annual average of 4,282 parole orders decreed directly by the Executive.
