The pope on Feb. 12, 2023 condemned the long imprisonment of Nicaraguan Bishop Rolando Jose Alvarez Lagos , a prominent opponent of autocratic President Daniel Ortega, the Worthy News website reports.
Pope Francis commented after Alvarez was sentenced to over 26 years imprisonment on what his supporters view as false charges.
The Feb. 10 sentence came after Alvarez declined to join some 222 people detained for political reasons and then expelled to the United States.
