The daughter of the political prisoner Tamara Davila was able to visit her for the first time at the Judicial Assistance Directorate (DAJ), known as “El Nuevo Chipote” in Managua, where she has been held since June 12, 2021.
The visit granted to the six-year-old minor —who was a witness at the time of the arbitrary arrest against her mother last year— took place at eight in the morning this Saturday, August 20, sources confirmed to Article 66.

Before the police authorities allowed him to visit the minor, she had demanded her mother’s freedom. “I want you to be released!” She emotionally expressed through a video released by her family.
“Mom, I think of you every day. You are inside my heart, when I see little birds and butterflies I remember you. I learned the letters to write your name, I don’t remember much of your face, it’s been many days without seeing you… but I remember your affectionate green eyes. I want you to come back, to come to the house… for us to be together. I want you to be released! », Says a letter recently written by the daughter of Tamara Dávila, which has moved social networks.
However, the relatives of the political prisoner denounce that the letter sent by her little girl was never delivered to the hostage of conscience. “She has been subjected to torture for more than 14 months, isolated in a cell and unable to see or communicate with her daughter,” express her relatives.
The opponent was arrested on June 12, 2021. The Nicaraguan dictatorship decided to imprison Dávila for allegedly violating Law 1055 or Sovereignty Law. She accused her and sentenced her to eight years in prison for the alleged crime of “conspiracy to undermine national integrity” and “treason against the country.”

Since the end of May 2021, the dictatorship launched a voracious attack against its critics that ended in political trials where they were found guilty and sentenced to several years in prison, on average, the sentences are between eight and 13 years in prison.
This would be the first time that the Daniel Ortega dictatorship allows a minor to visit a captive political prisoner in “El Nuevo Chipote.” The relatives of journalists Miguel Mendoza and Miguel Mora continue to demand that they be allowed to take their children to see their parents.
The Ortega regime has more than 190 political prisoners behind bars, whom it accuses of common crimes or alleged treason against the country. The list is getting longer every day with the recent arrests of Catholic priests.
