“The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued, on Dec. 8, 2021, Resolution 101/21, granting precautionary measures in favor of María Lilly Delgado Talavera, after considering that she is in serious and urgent situational risk of irreparable damage to her rights in Nicaragua.

According to the requestors, as a result of her journalistic work in Nicaragua, María Lilly Delgado Talavera has been subjected to harassment, intimidation and recent surveillance. The events allegedly occurred after the grantee was linked to a criminal investigation involving Cristiana Chamorro and former workers of the Violeta de Barrios Chamorro Foundation. On the other hand, in the information provided by the State, it was deemed that the risk factors have not decreased. "
