Former Nicaraguan presidential candidate and political prisoner Félix Maradiaga recently returned to exile in Miami after being released by the Ortega dictatorship. He spoke to WLRN's Tim Padgett about his 'torture' behind bars, the reunion with his family and his renewed resolve to fight.
Former Nicaraguan presidential candidate Félix Maradiaga was in prison for 20 months. This month, he and 222 other political prisoners were flown to the U.S. and stripped of their citizenships.
Nicaraguan opposition leader Félix Maradiaga spent 20 months in prison for challenging dictator Daniel Ortega. He's 'even more resolved' to see democracy restored.
International human rights attorney believes that the conviction and prison sentence of Monsignor Rolando Alvarez “reveals Ortega’s fear and weakness.”
