The dictatorship in Nicaragua headed by President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, on Jan. 2 released recent images of the bishop of Matagalpa, Rolando Álvarez, shortly after the United States government demanded his immediate release.
In an official statement, the Nicaraguan government published various photographs documenting a medical checkup performed Jan. 2 on Álvarez, who has been held in custody for more than 500 days. The prelate was placed under house arrest in August 2022 and in February 2023 sentenced by the dictatorship to 26 years and four months in prison on allegations of treason.
