This was an educational center of the Josephine sisters, closed and confiscated on August 12, 2025 by orders of the dictatorship, and a week later reopened under the name <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/inician-clases-en-el-bismarck-martinez-cambiando-fachada-del-colegio-san-jose\/\">&#8220;Colegio Bismarck Martinez&#8221;,<\/a> after the Sandinista sympathizer that the dictatorship claims was murdered in 2018. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis school served as a medical care center and refuge. It was also near a roadblock known as the San Jos\u00e9 roadblock,\u201d Pineda explained.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSome of them had even faced previous accusations by the State. In general, they are people who actively participated in the activities and protests of 2018,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n<p>Among those re-arrested is <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/politica\/policia-captura-al-coronel-en-retiro-carlos-brenes-exreo-politico-de-la-dictadura-en-2018\/\">retired Colonel Carlos Brenes<\/a>, originally from Masaya, who was detained\u2014now along with his wife, Salvadora Mart\u00ednez\u2014at his property located between the municipalities of Masatepe and Jinotepe. Brenes had already been a political prisoner of the dictatorship from August 2018 to June 2019. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-desaparicion-forzada-sistematica\"><strong>Systematic forced disappearance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The practice of forced disappearance is systematic under the dictatorship, as it hides the location and conditions of detainees. Regarding this raid, Pineda explained that, although the names of the 28 detainees are known, their families do not know their whereabouts. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;There has been no confirmation of where they were transferred,&#8221; he denounced. Families searching for their relatives are sent from one detention center to another in Managua without obtaining accurate information about their location. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThey are really being shuffled from one place to another. That is, they go to <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/distrito-tres-la-nueva-carcel-de-torturas-contra-presos-politicos\/\">District III prison<\/a>, to La Modelo, to El Chipote, and so far no confirmation has been given of where they actually are,\u201d Pineda detailed. <\/p>\n\n<p>The National Police and the Prosecutor\u2019s Office maintain complete silence about the arrests, issuing no statements or providing information in the judicial system. Some detainees have already spent more than 15 days in this irregular situation. <\/p>\n\n<p>The August raids add to the 20 arrests recorded in July\u2014linked to the Evangelical Church\u2014bringing the total political detentions in just two months to 48. Previously, in the last Monitoreo Azul y Blanco report published in July 2025, 54 political prisoners had been confirmed. <\/p>\n\n<p>She clarified that \u201cthis does not mean these are the only political prisoners,\u201d since some families choose not to report the cases. \u201cThe regime often releases some of these people. So we do not want to give final figures because we hope\u2014and the families\u2019 hope is also our hope\u2014that they will be freed before being formally charged with any crime.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-redadas-purgas-y-miedo-en-el-traspaso-dinastico\"><strong>Raids, purges, and fear in the dynastic succession<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Pineda attributes this repressive escalation to two factors: the apparent deterioration of Ortega&#8217;s health and the preparation for any transition scenario.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing a very rapid decline in Daniel Ortega\u2019s health and a purge among those closest to him,\u201d she explained, distinguishing between these raids against citizens and opposition members and the internal purges that have affected historic Sandinistas and former political collaborators.<\/p>\n\n<p>She dismissed, for example, that the arrest of Brenes is related to the purge: \u201cbecause the colonel had been retired for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHe was not connected to party structures, unlike Bayardo Arce, <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/english\/police-capture-rodolfo-castillo-payin-no-2-of-lenin-cerna\/\">Rodolfo Castillo<\/a>, and others who have been imprisoned, like N\u00e9stor Moncada Lau, who were still recently tied to party structures,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/policy\/co-dictators-threaten-advisor-bayardo-arce-over-transactions-outside-the-state\/\">Arce, detained in late July, <\/a>was one of the nine commanders of the National Directorate of the Sandinista Front in the 1980s and, after Ortega\u2019s return to power in 2007, was appointed presidential adviser on economic affairs. Moncada Lau, meanwhile, is officially \u201cpresidential adviser on national security matters,\u201d though his real role has been as the \u201ccustodian of El Carmen\u2019s secrets\u201d\u2014the residence and office of Ortega and Murillo\u2014and their key link to institutions such as the National Police and the Ministry of the Interior (formerly the Ministry of Governance). <\/p>\n\n<p>According to Pineda, the strategy seeks to \u201censure that in any type of transition from one co-president to the other, there is zero possibility of protest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arresto-domiciliario-la-represion-invisible\"><strong>House arrest: invisible repression<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to these detentions in southeastern Nicaragua, dozens of citizens remain<a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/asi-es-vivir-casa-por-carcel-en-nicaragua\/\"> under de facto house arrest<\/a>, some for more than two years. This form of repression, Pineda said, has become so normalized that victims now file fewer complaints out of fear of worsening their situation. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cPeople in this condition come to normalize this violation of human rights and denounce it less and less,\u201d she warned. Many of them, she added, are required to report regularly to the Police or the Prosecutor\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Asociaci\u00f3n Unidad de Defensa Jur\u00eddica has reported these cases to international organizations, requesting hearings before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and informing the UN Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN).<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The condition of arbitrary detention, plus forced disappearance, is an extreme condition,&#8221; stressed Pineda, who described the situation as a systematic violation of human rights with repercussions that transcend the direct victims to affect entire families.<\/p>\n\n<p>She argued that the July and August raids confirm that the Ortega-Murillo regime is maintaining its strategy of state terror, with more forced disappearances designed to render repression invisible to the international community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least 28 people, including five entire families, remain \u201cforcibly disappeared\u201d following the latest repressive raid by the Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo regime, which took place between August 12 and 18, 2025, according to Monitoreo Azul y Blanco.
