The general manager of the newspaper La Prensa, Juan Lorenzo Holmann, one of the political prisoners that the Daniel Ortega regime maintains in El Chipote, managed to receive a visit from his relatives in which he was able to see photographs, read letters from his daughters and managed to obtain permission to have a video call with them for ten minutes.
During the visit, as reported The Press, it was found that “he continues to lose weight, he looks thinner, his complexion is pale, his hands are yellowish, and although his health is deteriorating, they have not been able to destroy his spirit, his spirit, and his concern for the environment, the workers, journalists, and freedom of expression in Nicaragua.
The media indicated that during the 16th visit to the political prisoners who are in the cells of the Directorate of Judicial Assistance (DAJ), Holmann spoke of his deteriorating health, the change of cell and asked about the team of journalists from La Prensa.
Worried about losing sight
Relatives of the prisoner of conscience pointed to 100% News that he continues with his vision problems and that they had to perform an exam that to date has not been done.
“He feels that he has substantially lost his sight, in the eye in which he has had problems with a dark spot since 2021,” a source told La Prensa.
They also mention that she has a hernia that is getting bigger and bigger. “She annoys him and worries him a lot,” they detailed.
