His wife was prohibited from holding any funeral services and was not provided with a death certificate or cause of death. His coffin had already been sealed upon collection. Less than a week earlier, on 25 August, political activist Mauricio Alonso Petri died in arbitrary detention. His cause of death also remains unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mauricio Alonso Petri was detained on 17 July during a coordinated armed police operation against Pastor Rudy Palacios Vargas, an outspoken critic of the regime, and several friend and family members including Mauricio Alonso Petri and his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No news has been given to their loved ones about their whereabouts, meaning their cases also amount to enforced disappearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We continue to call for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners in Nicaragua and for transparency, including a full and detailed investigation into what led to the deaths of Dr Carlos C\u00e1rdenas Zepeda and Mauricio Alonso Petri. Those responsible must be held to account and extensive reparations made to their widows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We share the High Commissioners concern regarding the enforced disappearances of Lesbia del Socorro Guti\u00e9rrez Poveda and Carmen Mar\u00eda S\u00e1enz Mart\u00ednez, both Roman Catholic laywomen.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":44950,"template":"","categories":[],"regions":[137,142],"class_list":["post-30955","reports","type-reports","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-latin-america","regions-nicaragua"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/30955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reports"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/30955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36462,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/30955\/revisions\/36462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30955"},{"taxonomy":"regions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regions?post=30955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
