US deports ex-political prisoner back to Nicaraguan prison
Original: The U.S. deported a former political prisoner to Nicaragua. He’s now in prison again
The United States deported a former Nicaraguan political prisoner, and upon arrival in Nicaragua he was imprisoned again. The case highlights the risks faced by Nicaraguan dissidents sent back by US immigration authorities, as the government of Daniel Ortega continues to detain opposition figures. Human rights advocates are expected to press for details on how the deportation was carried out and what protections, if any, were assessed beforehand.
Why now: It raises concerns that US deportations may be sending dissidents directly back into government persecution in Nicaragua.
