Nicaragua allows for the first time the visit of children to two of the imprisoned opponents

MADRID, 21 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Nicaraguan Government of Daniel Ortega has allowed this Saturday that the children of opponents Tamara Dávila and Miguel Mora visit them for the first time since their arrest 14 months ago.

Both Dávila and Mora began a hunger strike so that the Nicaraguan authorities would allow their children to visit. These have accessed this Saturday the prison of the Directorate of Judicial Assistance, 'El Chipote', about 60 kilometers from Managua, the country's capital.

The journalist and opposition presidential candidate, Miguel Mora Barberena, who has been in jail since June 2021, was serving 59 days on a hunger strike this Saturday to demand that the regime allow him to see his 21-year-old son.

Mora's wife, the journalist Verónica Chávez, confirmed that the visit took place on Saturday morning and considered it "a gift from God" because it was the prisoner's birthday, as she told 'Article 66'.

Chávez expressed emotion at the reunion: "I cannot describe in words the reunion between Miguelito and his father." In addition, she has reported that this Sunday he will fast "in thanksgiving" because they allowed him his right to visits.

On the other hand, Tamara Dávila began a hunger strike "as a last resort" on August 15, after efforts made by the family to see their six-year-old daughter were unsuccessful.

"I am happy to finally see my daughter, this should have happened from day one as it is our right. A single visit is not enough. I demand that regular visits and calls from all minor and disabled sons and daughters be allowed immediately. to their mothers and fathers who are political prisoners, including those who are outside the country," Dávila said in statements shared by his family after the meeting.

Dávila's family has explained that they continue to demand immediate permission for their children's visits, as well as regular visits every 15 days and weekly phone calls with relatives, as established by Nicaraguan law.
