Interviews

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.

Although he was imprisoned for seven months in the La Modelo prison, the university leader, Levis Artola Rugama, now under house arrest, did not lose his sense of humor nor the charm that characterize him. Neither did he lose the rebelliousness that motivated him to get involved in the protests against the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
