MANAGUA - The Nicaraguan government on Wednesday released dozens of people the opposition considers political prisoners, a human rights group said, hours before government and opposition leaders were due to restart talks aimed at ending a national crisis.
Nicaragua has been in a deep political crisis since President Daniel Ortega attempted social security reform last year, leading to massive protests. The ensuing chaos put the poor Central American nation in recession. Television images showed mini-buses apparently carrying released prisoners in the streets of the capital, Managua. Another rights group said some of the released prisoners would remain under house arrest.
Talks began on Wednesday between the government, business representatives, students and opposition politicians, seeking a resolution to the crisis that has engulfed Nicaragua since last spring. Ortega did not take part.
