Nicaraguan Regime's Detention of Clergy Sparks International Outcry
The U.S. Department of State has condemned the Nicaraguan government for the unjust 500-day detention of Bishop Rolando Álvarez and other religious leaders, criticizing the regime for imposing severe restrictions on religious freedom. The statement calls for the immediate and unconditional release of Bishop Álvarez and highlights the international concern for his well-being due to his isolation and the government's manipulation of information about his imprisonment.
