"The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued the Resolution 49/2022 on Sept. 29, 2022, by which it granted precautionary measures to Juan Lorenzo Holmann Chamorro and his close family, after deeming that they are in a serious and urgent situation of risk of irreparable harm to their rights in Nicaragua.
According to the petitioning organization, Juan Lorenzo Holmann Chamorro, general manager of independent media outlet La Prensa newspaper, is being held in the [prison] facilities of the Judicial Assistance Directorate, known as 'Nuevo Chipote,' in inadequate conditions and without the necessary, timely and adequate medical care for his health. [...]
Mr. Holmann Chamorro's family, on the other hand, could be at risk given possible reprisals, and considering that his wife has been subject to harassment. Likewise, the Commission highlighted its concern for violations of the right of freedom of expression and for a series of acts against La Prensa newspaper. These include, in a context of pressure, delays and withholding of materials, reaching the tipping point of a 'de facto confiscation' of the newspaper's facilities."
