Lawyer and researcher Martha Patricia Molina has charged that the Nicaraguan regime has “kidnapped” Father Osman José Amador Guillén for requesting prayers for the bishop of Matagalpa, Rolando Álvarez.
The prelate began serving a 26-year, four-month prison term in February, charged with being a “traitor to the homeland.”
Latin American human rights advocates use the term “kidnapped” (i.e. abducted) for an arbitrary arrest without any legal justification.
In a message sent to ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, Molina, the author of the report “Nicaragua: A Persecuted Church?”, stated that the priest “was kidnapped by the Sandinista Police” the night of Sept. 8.
