Nicaragua’s government has released dozens of prisoners in response to pressure from the US following the abduction of Venezuela’s President Maduro. The move comes amid US demands for improved human rights in Nicaragua and a crackdown on opposition figures. The release, praised by the US Embassy, includes individuals detained for political reasons, such as a former mayor and an evangelical pastor critical of the government. Opposition groups attribute the release to US pressure and political maneuvers linked to events in Venezuela.
