Nicaragua Revokes Citizenship of 135 Exiled Political Prisoners

Nicaragua has stripped 135 former political prisoners of their nationality, following their release and expulsion to Guatemala.

This drastic measure was part of a deal negotiated by the United States, aiming to free those detained in the government's crackdown on dissent. Alongside the loss of citizenship, Nicaragua announced the confiscation of the exiles' properties. The United Nations has condemned this action, highlighting it as a sign of escalating repression in the country.

Those affected by this decree have the option to relocate to the United States, as part of the arrangements made for their release.
