"They should never have been jailed, and their families should never have been persecuted in retaliation of their loved ones’ work.” Our President Burhan Sonmez on the release of 222 political prisoners in #Nicaragua on Thursday: https://t.co/pCEaPgMmNj

There's a problem with this narrative! Nicaragua is a socialist heaven! And if the U.S. would just leave them alone, it would be free of corruption! Those 222 must have really been evil American C.I.A. or their minions?

yeah that whole thing is interesting because it's an experiment in authoritarianism precisely to crack down on crime. which is the will of the majority, civil rights be damned, right to life and limb take priority. will it all blow up?
