More than 140 #politicalprisoners in #Nicaragua due to the #OrtegaMurillo regime. "Creyeron que te enterraban y lo que hacían era enterrar una semilla" #MuestrenYa #SOSNicaragua

Nicaragua's long-serving president Daniel Ortega said the Central American country will no longer hold elections, eliminating the possibility of an electoral challenge when his term ends next year and further entrenching the rule he shares with his wife reut.rs/4wUdCzN

The world should be worried about the precedent being set in Nicaragua. Even in autocracies, democrats should keep insisting on the most basic of rights: to choose their own rulers: bit.ly/4fpC8S7

Privileged to meet former Russian political prisoner @vkaramurza who was honored by the @RWallenbergInst for his work on pro-democracy efforts in Russia.
Kara-Murza spoke about the status of democracy:
• Today, Russia 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 than during the Soviet Union.
• The leading cause of political imprisonment is citizen protest against the Russian regime’s war in Ukraine.
• Even in repressive dictatorships, there are always people willing to do the right thing, 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴.
• Kara-Murza reminded us of the difference one person can make when they make the right choice.
His 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 for citizens living under authoritarianism: prepare for the day after. Build the necessary roadmap. Be ready when the time comes for a #democratic transition.

A Russian cargo ship sanctioned by the United States landed in Managua today after traveling between Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
In 2022, I discussed in the National Interest how Russia militarizes authoritarianism in Latin America, and I argue that through selective threats, military and commercial activities, and information warfare operations, Moscow is reinforcing the regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua as a geopolitical leverage point. The Russian threat in the Western Hemisphere should not be diminished.
