These images provided by the pro-government Nicaraguan media show the Bishop of Matagalpa, Rolando \u00c1lvarez, receiving a visit from his family.<\/p>\n
The Bishop has been in prison for more than a month after being convicted of treason. A charge that he says is false. <\/p>\n
The government is attempting to use these photos as proof that the Bishop is alive. Silvio Jos\u00e9 B\u00e1ez, auxiliary bishop of Managua, said he was relieved to see him alive, although the photos are \u201cstaging of the disgusting and cynical dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others such as Father Rafael Arag\u00f3n\u2014who spent 40 years as a missionary in Nicaragua\u2014agree that the photos are staged. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Argentina's Infobae news agency, Pope Francis said that the country's president may be suffering from some kind of \u201cimbalance.\u201d<\/p>\n In response, the government expelled from the country the charg\u00e9 d'affaires of the Nunciature in Managua. Before him, in 2022, the Ortega regime had expelled the apostolic nuncio, Waldemar Stanis\u0142aw Sommer.<\/p>\n RM\/JRB<\/p>\n TR: AT <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bishop has been in prison for more than a month after being convicted of treason.
