Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Center Applauds Release of Nicaraguan Political Prisoners

ATLANTA (February 9, 2023) – The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Center applauds the release of 222 political prisoners by the government of Nicaragua and commends the U.S. government for providing humanitarian parole in the United States.

We join the prisoners’ families in celebrating their release and note that restoring democracy in Nicaragua requires a halt to repression and a return to the political rights and guarantees expected in a democracy.
