Film on Nicaragua’s Female Political Prisoners at Documentary Festival

Nicaraguan filmmaker Gloria Carrion premieres on June 24 her most recent film entitled “Leaves of K.”, at the Sheffield Documentary Festival.

Since the end of 2018 the Ortega-Murillo government has stripped 669 civil society organizations of their legal status.

Rosario Murillo will not release the political prisoners, nor can we expect her to change the deplorable conditions in which she keeps them.

Oscar Téllez: “She demands that the isolation cease. She has resisted, she is firm, her sense of humor is intact”

The consultant presumes that Ortega found out about the Russian announcement when he saw it in the media or on social networks…

It’s the expression of a fearful, paranoid power that fears spaces for free expression that could feed thoughts & broaden horizons…

With these, the number of organizations of all types summarily shutdown in Nicaragua since 2018 reaches 562, 488 so far in 2022.

For opposing Ortega she suffered constant harassment and police persecution for three years. She is now in the US, requesting asylum.

The organizations supported humanitarian, cultural, health, basic services & other initiatives benefitting the most vulnerable population.

In an unprecedented decision, the Mexican immigration authorities have offered to extend transit visas to those who need them.
