Controversy Ortega, to Nicaraguan political prisoners: "You are sons of bitches of Yankee imperialism"
Nicaragua Biden signs new sanctions to pressure Ortega
Santos Sebastián Flores Castillo
, the first political prisoner of the Sandinista regime, died last Monday at the age of 52 in the high security gallery of the
Tipitapa prison
after spending eight years behind bars. The prestigious
Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (Cenidh)
announced the death, while demanding that the Ministry of the Interior and the prison system conduct a "thorough investigation to report the causes of death."
The authorities of the Central American country have maintained a constant silence on this case, which exploded before public opinion in 2013. The seriousness of the accusations of the deceased, directed directly against
Daniel Ortega
, led to his arrest: Flores publicly pointed out the president for violating his 15-year-old sister, who also became pregnant.
"I am unjustly imprisoned because Daniel Ortega Saavedra hates me to death. With pleasure, just because I did not agree with the couple's relationship when he made my sister
Elvia Junieth
his wife
when he was 15 years old," accused the now deceased political prisoner in a letter that he managed to get out of jail.
A "relationship" that would have started in 2005.
Elpidia Castillo
, the mother of both Santos and Elvia, has corroborated her son's accusations since his exile in the United States.
The whole family fled the country when scandal broke out, except for Elvia Junieth herself, who married a man close to the presidential couple, with whom she has raised the president's son, according to sources familiar with the case confirmed to EL MUNDO.
Cenidh, which presented the case to the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
, repeatedly denounced that Flores suffered systematic torture, both physical and psychological.
The same occurs with
Marvin Vargas
, a former Sandinista military man, who shares with Flores the title of the first political prisoner of the revolution.
The
World Organization Against Torture
protested in its day to the Ministry of the Interior for the denial of access to the Tipitapa Model Prison and for the lack of independent medical care for the prisoner.
"He has died with impunity. His death is the responsibility of Ortega, who at the time was a political prisoner of Somoza and now has become the executioner of political prisoners, but with much greater cruelty than
Somoza
. In Nicaragua torture of massively and systematically, "
Juan Carlos Arce
, director of the Human Rights Collective Nicaragua Never Again
, confirmed for EL MUNDO
.
Sandinista judges sentenced Santos to 15 years in prison for a crime of rape.
"The president ordered him to prefabricate the alleged crime of rape that never happened, in order to silence his voice," explained Elpidia Castillo in her complaint to Cenidh.
Santos's mother assures that her son was
subjected to daily torture
and that he received death threats from officials, who yelled at him that "we are only waiting for superior orders."
Once again it rains in the wet.
Zoilamérica Narváez
, daughter of
Rosario Murillo
and daughter adopted by Ortega, denounced her stepfather for committing sexual abuse and rape against her in the family home since she was 11 years old. The file of the famous Zoilamérica case also rests in the human rights court, after being rejected in the Nicaraguan courts. She is the only daughter who is not part of the family clan created by the now co-presidents of Nicaragua, which involves the sharing of power, oil businesses, the media, state resources and other perks among her eight siblings.
Narváez is in exile in
Costa Rica
, as well as a good part of the relatives of political prisoners who in the last hours have raised their voices against the serious insults emitted by Ortega against those captured by the Sandinista regime.
"We are concerned that these new insults (" sons of bitches of Yankee imperialism ") are interpreted as an execution order so that police and prison officials feel legitimized to carry out acts of political revenge against prisoners," they warned in a statement. .
