Also, Fabio Alberto C\u00e1ceres Larios, 65, from Chinandega. The three were released on Friday, November 7, 2025, according to data verified by CONFIDENCIAL. The other two released are retired military officers <strong>Ronald Leiva Silva<\/strong>, from Matagalpa, and <strong>Jorge Danilo Portocarrero<\/strong> Arg\u00fcello, from Jinotepe, although neither of these last two were on the list of political prisoners monitored by organizations tracking prisoners of conscience.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-caso-de-leo-carcamo\">The Case of Leo C\u00e1rcamo<\/h2>\n\n<p>Journalist Leo C\u00e1rcamo Herrera was detained on November 23, 2024, during a wave of arbitrary arrests between November 22 and 28 of that year, which coincided with the illegal approval in the first legislature of the constitutional reform that established \u201cco-presidency\u201d in the country. A total of <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/caceria-policial-mas-ciudadanos-arrestados-en-nicaragua\/\">30 Nicaraguans were arrested in at least ten departments<\/a>, including Le\u00f3n, Masaya, and Estel\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n<p>The journalist has been a political prisoner on two occasions. The first was in January 2019. In February 2025, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) demanded, for the second time, his release, and in September, the <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/ee-uu-exige-al-regimen-una-prueba-de-vida-del-periodista-nicaraguense-leo-carcamo\/\">United States government requested proof of life.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n<p>On December 11, 2024, about<a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/policia-libera-bajo-restriccion-a-opositores-detenidos-ilegalmente-en-redadas\/\"> forty detainees, including several arrested in Le\u00f3n, were sent home in various departments<\/a> on the condition that they report periodically to the police in Managua, but C\u00e1rcamo was not released, supposedly \u201cdue to a mental health issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>On that occasion, some of the released prisoners had a judicial hearing via videoconference, in which they were informed of alleged charges of \u201ccybercrimes\u201d and \u201ctreason against the homeland\u201d against them. In this case, it is still unknown whether any judicial hearing took place.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-incomunicados-y-desaparecidos\"><strong>Incommunicado and Disappeared<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Like C\u00e1rcamo, political prisoners Julio Antonio Quintana Carvajal and Fabio Alberto C\u00e1ceres Larios remained detained under conditions of incommunicado detention and were considered victims of \u201cforced disappearance,\u201d according to the Mechanism for the Recognition of Political Prisoners of Nicaragua, which has not yet commented on this release.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sources from the Penitentiary System and GREX told <strong>CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> that the released prisoners and their families were threatened not to speak to the media or to civil society or human rights organizations. Since their arrests, their families had been unaware of their whereabouts and health conditions. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quintana-carvajal-y-caceres-larios\"><strong>Quintana Carvajal and C\u00e1ceres Larios<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Quintana Carvajal, 67, was detained at his home in Le\u00f3n on November 26, 2024. From that moment, his whereabouts were unknown, despite efforts by his family and human rights organizations.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) had granted him precautionary measures in February 2025, after determining that he was in a situation of extreme gravity and urgency.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p>According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oas.org\/es\/cidh\/decisiones\/mc\/2025\/res_16-25_mc_117-25%20_ni_es.pdf\"> IACHR resolution<\/a>, Quintana Carvajal joined the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in the 1970s and was part of the University Student Front. In 2018, his home in Le\u00f3n was attacked by Sandinista supporters who accused him of being a \u201ctraitor\u201d and \u201csellout.\u201d A year later, his home was vandalized again with the word \u201cplomo\u201d (\u201clead\u201d) painted on the walls, and since then, he suffered constant harassment by the Ortega-controlled police.  <\/p>\n\n<p>C\u00e1ceres Larios, 65, from Posoltega, Chinandega, was detained on November 22, 2024, and since then remained in a state of forced disappearance. <\/p>\n\n<p>His case was also documented by the Mechanism for the Recognition of Political Prisoners, an organization that has denounced the torture, cruel treatment, and denial of contact with family or lawyers suffered by political prisoners in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dos-militares-en-retiro-excarcelados\">Two Retired Military Officers Released<\/h2>\n\n<p>The other two released prisoners, who are not on the Mechanism\u2019s list, are retired military officers Ronald Leiva Silva and Jorge Danilo Portocarrero Arg\u00fcello.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>Leiva Silva, known as \u201cPaul,\u201d from Matagalpa, was chief of Military Intelligence. The former officer was detained in May 2025, although the case was kept completely secret by the regime and his whereabouts were unknown. At that time, about <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/policia-ejecuta-redada-contra-14-ciudadanos-en-el-norte-de-nicaragua\/\">fourteen Nicaraguans were illegally detained by the National Police in various points in the northern region<\/a> of the country, including former members of the canceled Citizens for Liberty (CxL) party and ex-military linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/english\/police-arrest-retired-general-alvaro-baltodano-in-matagalpa-say-local-farmers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recently arrested retired General \u00c1lvaro Baltodano Cantarero.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n<p>One source told <strong>CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> that Leiva Silva was released several days before C\u00e1rcamo, Quintana, and C\u00e1ceres, although the exact date could not be confirmed. <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/english\/murillo-continues-purge-of-ex-military-retired-general-and-captain-imprisoned\/\">Portocarrero Arg\u00fcello<\/a>, who is also at least 60 years old, was a captain in the Nicaraguan Army in the early 1990s, and after retiring worked for several decades in various advertising and communication companies. He was also a professor at the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua).<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p>As of October 29, 2025, the Mechanism for the Recognition of Political Prisoners identified 77 people as imprisoned, most in a state of \u201cforced disappearance,\u201d while hundreds more remain under de facto house arrest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five
