In a significant humanitarian move, Nicaragua has released 135 political prisoners, including 13 individuals associated with a Texas-based evangelical church, following negotiations with the U.S. government. The prisoners, deemed 'unjustly detained' by the Biden administration, were released on humanitarian grounds and have been sent to Guatemala. This group includes Jon Britton Hancock, an Alabama-born pastor and founder of Mountain Gateway, highlighting the crackdown on nonprofits and religious organizations by Nicaragua's authoritarian regime led by Daniel Ortega and his wife. The release represents a notable diplomatic achievement for the U.S. and a hopeful sign for the families and supporters of those detained under Ortega's rule.
