The Ortega regime’s plan of using the negotiating sessions with the Civic Alliance to promote an amnesty was energetically rejected by the Mothers of April Association, which brings together dozens of parents, siblings and family members of the victims of the Ortega-led massacre.

Amid the brutal repression from Daniel Ortega’s regime, anonymous heroes have emerged. One of them is a young rescuer with long curly locks and dark skin, who the self-organized nicknamed “Curly” for his unique head of hair, or alternately “Spiderman” for his agility in climbing up the metal trees.     

Solis cautions that if the Civic Alliance renews their dialogue with the Ortega regime without the complete release of the political prisoners, it would amount to “political suicide”.

The crimes against humanity committed by the regime of Daniel Ortega, and the grave violations of Nicaraguans’ human rights over the past year go beyond anything that Vilma Nunez, president of the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (Cenidh), can compare it with.
