Nicaragua has freed 222 inmates considered by many to be political prisoners and sent them to Washington, Sec. of State Anthony Blinken says.
The Nicaraguan opposition’s latest count on “political prisoners” held had been 245. It was not immediately clear who was not released.
Later Thursday, Nicaragua’s Congress unanimously approved a constitutional change allowing “traitors” to be stripped of their nationality. It will require a second vote in the next legislative session later this year. Family members of some of those released also confirmed that the prisoners were flying to Washington.
Other one-time presidential hopefuls Arturo Cruz and Juan Sebastian Chamorro were also on the flight, U.S. officials said.
