"At least six journalists imprisoned in Nicaragua by the regime of Daniel Ortega are suffering serious health deterioration, after months of being imprisoned in torture-like conditions, denounced the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), through a statement.
The IAPA warned this week that these six journalists were condemned to sentences of up to 13 years in prison, after facing 'summary trials, without due process and for non-existent crimes.'
The organization urged in a press release that journalists Miguel Mora, Miguel Mendoza, Jaime Arellano, Pedro Joaquín Chamorro, Juan Lorenzo Holmann and Cristiana Chamorro, former presidential candidate and journalist, be freed 'as prisoners of conscience.'"
