The Nicaraguan regime has released a Catholic bishop jailed earlier this year for 26 years on treason charges connected with his use of social media, according to reports.
Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa has been moved from the Jorge Navarro de Tipitapa National Penitentiary System, a notorious prison known as “La Modelo”, and might soon be forcibly sent into exile.
Bianca Jagger, who has campaigned relentlesslyfor the release of Bishop Álvarez, tweeted: “I have been informed that … he was taken out of La Modelo prison, and that the regime intends to send him to Rome.”
