Managua, Nicaragua, Oct 8, 2018 / 13:31 pm
A video circulating in Spanish-language social media shows a group of political prisoners praying the Hail Mary while expressing their desire to see a free Nicaragua.
The country has seen widespead protests since April against the government of Daniel Ortega.
"Freedom for all political prisoners. Nicaragua wants freedom. I love the blue and white flag (of my country) and my constitutional rights to demonstrate have been violated. I love you Nicaragua. Be strong, I love you all, we love you all very much, Nicaragua," says one of the prisoners after praying the Hail Mary.
"I greet all our relatives and friends. We really love you. We don't want any more abuse of power. May justice be done, but truly so, which is guided by the Lord, not like what we have been getting lately," he continues.
